This edition of the NBA Trades Podcast features a deep look into the three Js era of the Dallas Mavericks with former Mavericks beat writer Brad Townsend. Brad covered the Mavericks from 1993-1997 for the Dallas Morning News and was there for some of the more explosive moments in the Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd and Jim Jackson partnership.

We spoke about Dallas’ hiring of Quinn Buckner not working out during the 1993-94 season, the Derek Harper trade, Dallas’ 2-39 start during Brad’s first time covering the team. We then went into the improvement of the team under Dick Motta, the chemistry falling apart in 1996, the Toni Braxton drama after the 1995-96 season and the eventual trades of all three players after new ownership arrived.
