The Dallas Mavericks were searching for a player who could stretch the floor with his deft shooting touch, and Doug McDermott was searching for a team that could take advantage of his ability to stretch the floor with his deft shooting touch. Now, only time will tell if that marriage will continue.
McDermott joined the Mavs via a three-team trade with the New York Knicks on Feb. 8 – the Denver Nuggets were also part of the trade. And while McDermott acquitted himself well in his 26 games in Dallas, he becomes a restricted free agent on July 1, but desperately wants to remain with the Mavs, who can match any offer he receives.
