#10 pick Tim hardaway josh green
#13 pick Pascal Siakam
Dallas draft Derrick Lively at 13
Luka will be leaving soon FYI
Ridiculous,lively is a great fit
Makes zero sense for Mavericks to draft rookies unless they’re really dying for Luka to ask out. No one the Mavericks draft would be ready to contribute to winning playoff basketball for at least a couple of years. Less than 10% of draft picks contribute to winning basketball until at least their 3rd year.
How much longer will Luka give Dallas before he heads out the door? I doubt that he wants to be the next Dame and wait for Dallas to get their act together.
Luka Will stay… People here think in suns mode… Just relax web want Denver mode… Luka is 24
Draft Derrick Lively. Don't FTU. Draft Derrick Lively.
don’t worry gray. im making sure our here in phoenix these idiots still stay on earth . our mavs still need to handle our business
There is a reason most foreign players stay with their teams. It isn't easy adjusting. I don't see Luka leaving anytime soon.
I believed in Mark when he came, he was like all the salesmen.. now I know better, theres not much to like. Even outside of basketball I l followed what he was saying on different issues , disappointing .. wish I didnt read any of that stuff
Hey, a rational Christian Wood take from the outside:
"He's a 7-ft big averaging like 20/10, blocking shots at the rim, shooting almost 40% from three..there's like 3 of this type of player in the league. Why isn't he playing 35m per game?"
Yeah…. because Jason Kidd or whomever pushed that bs narrative is a terrible decision maker and we got to pay the price for it.
Josh Green, Jaden Hardy, Davis Bertans, Tim Hardaway Jr., 2023 (pick 10), for LeBron James.
Christian Wood, Maxi Kleber, and 2027 1st for Clint Capela and John Collins.
Luka Doncic PG
Kyrie Irving SG
LeBron James SF
John Collins PF
Clint Capela C
Kevin O'Connor just seems like he makes things up as he goes, little knowledge little insider info
Trade the 10th pick for Jarrett Allen and picks. Move back in the draft depending on what type of player you want wings: Rayan Rupert, Jordan Walsh, Malcolm Cazalon, or Nikos Rogkavopoulos. For a big man: Oso Ighodaro, Uros Plavsic or Damjan Vukcevic.
Capella and 15 would be great.
Rumors Bertans and Hardaway for Collins and 15
You can't win long term in this league without Drafting & developing properly.
That's why they have a bad roster & no cap space to begin with.
They need to Draft Gradey Dick at 10.
If he is available, you Draft him the second you go on the clock.
I wouldn't expect them to get this right, though.
I don't think they've gotten a single thing right since they Drafted Luka.
As I see it, if we are lucky and Whitmore, Walker or Hendricks call to 10, we need to pick the guy and stay put unless you get a godfather offer, otherwise trade down
