And then Woj had the details about three minutes later. Both of these guys have been on absolute fire tonight:
Dallas is acquiring Philadelphia's Josh Richardson and No. 36 pick for Seth Curry, source tells ESPN.

Shooting. They added more shooting. Dallas needed a two-way guard who can give them some bite on the perimeter, so the trade I think makes sense for both teams.
Curry is a career 44.3% three point shooter who had a really nice year in Dallas, scoring 12.4 points in about 24 minutes per game. He was 45.2% from three this season on 5.0 attempts per game and makes about $8 million a year on a contract that has three years remaining. He’s also married to Doc Rivers’ daughter, so there you go. Doc coached his son in LA and will now coach his son-in-law in Philly.
Let’s check in with J Rich:
Uh oh

Bummer. He played hard here and said the right things, just feel like Dallas is a better fit for him than Philadelphia right now.
