The Dallas Mavericks traded for J.J. Redick and Nicolo Melli from the New Orleans Pelicans for 2021 second-round pick, James Johnson, and Wesley Iwundu just before Thursday’s deadline, according to Shams Charania. They added shooting and experience at a minimal cost. It was the only move the Mavericks could pull off, though.
GM Donnie Nelson and the Mavs did an outstanding job plugging a hole by acquiring Redick. Most expected the 36-year-old to be bought out and sign with a contender.
