2. Seth Curry

The Dallas Mavericks signed Seth Curry on the first night of free agency, and seemingly everyone was talking about how he would be a perfect fit in Dallas.

Curry had already played for the Mavs in two previous stints and had already played with Luka Doncic. Him returning to Dallas didn't seem like it would be a massive adjustment, but he struggled to start the year off.

Curry scored a combined 17 points through his first eight games and was shooting 25 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from downtown. It wasn't the start that Mavs fans expected from him, but he has turned it around since.

Curry is averaging 4.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game while shooting 39..8 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from downtown. He has been a reliable shooter as of late, but his minutes have heavily fluctuated.

Sometimes, Jason Kidd relies heavily on him off the bench, and other nights, Curry doesn't touch the floor. I don't think Dallas knows exactly what they want from Curry, and if they won't play Curry, another playoff team will.

Due to him making just $4 million annually, I could see a different contender calling the Mavs about Curry. Dallas already has so many guards, and I don't think losing Curry would be a massive blow.
