LAS VEGAS – The Dallas Mavericks lost Jalen Brunson to the New York Knicks this summer in free agency. But they rebounded nicely by acquiring a couple of players who can help them with their abilities to rebound the basketball.
The Mavs acquired center Christian Wood (6-10, 223) from Houston last month in a trade that sent Boban Marjanovic, Trey Burke, Marquese Chriss, Sterling Brown and the No. 26 pick in this year’s NBA Draft to the Rockets. And earlier this month the Mavs signed Phoenix Suns free agent center JaVale McGee (7-0, 270) to a three-year, $20.
