DALLAS — Considering what little they had to work with, the Mavs’ offseason is off to a bang-up start. They turned a draft pick into three players; dumped Davis Bertans’ contract; signed one of the best shooters in league history on the cheap; and retained Kyrie Irving’s services at a discount. Heck, Nico Harrison did such a good job on the last item, Kyrie might not even have time to get antsy before the deal is up.
Now if Nico could undo some of the damage done last summer, we could almost call it even.
To that end, the Mavs reportedly acquired Boston’s Grant Williams, an honest-to-goodness 3-and-D forward, in a three-way trade Wednesday, though they missed out on Matisse Thybulle, a 6-5, 26-year-old wing, after Portland matched their offer sheet.
