Jefferson has been around the league for quite some time and has found his way onto a number of teams, so at the very least he will provide another veteran presence for the Mavericks.
Last season with the Utah Jazz, Richardson did put together a solid season and found himself top three on the team in a number of categories, so if he can continue that trend it may be a bargain steal for Dallas.
