The Dallas Mavericks' shooting got even worse over the weekend after waiving John Poulakidas.
The Dallas Mavericks waived John Poulakidas and Seth Lundy from their two-way contracts ahead of the 2026-27 season. Writer Noah Weber argues that releasing Poulakidas worsens Dallas' existing three-point shooting difficulties, noting that the Mavericks ranked in the bottom five in three-point attempts, makes, and percentage during the previous season.
Poulakidas converted 40.3 percent of his three-point attempts as a rookie and showed strong perimeter scoring during the preseason. Despite attempting 43.3 threes per game in the preseason, Dallas converted only 32.4 percent, leading Weber to suggest the team must look externally to address its perimeter depth.
