Nico Harrison | NBA Draft Press Conference

The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have acquired the draft rights to the 51st overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft Melvin Ajinça (ah-jin-SAH) from New York in exchange for the draft rights to Ariel Hukporti (58th overall selection in 2024), the rights to Petteri Koponen (30th overall pick in 2007) and cash considerations.

Ajinça (6-8, 218) spent the 2023-24 campaign with Saint-Quentin in France’s top league (LNB Pro A), and averaged 9.5 points (.481 FG%, .815 FT%) and 3.6 rebounds per game in 30 games. He was named the French LNB Pro B Best Young Player in 2022-23, after he averaged 8.5 points (.529 FG%, .394 3FG%, .848 FT%) and 2.0 rebounds in 33 games.

The 6-8 forward began his career with Paris’ Centre Fédéral de Basket-ball of the Nationale Masculine 1 league in 2019-20.

A native of Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, France, Ajinça helped the French U19 team to a silver-medal finish at the 2023 FIBA U19 World Cup, where he finished second in the tournament in scoring (19.3 ppg).

    let him finsish this season if hes still playing over seas and cook him up in g leauge djj is good but any way to get kcp now should be our move perhaps not doable w tim perhaps josh and maxi so we can get mle and possibly resign kcp sign n trade w denver and hardaway and maxi or josh will open up more development and kcp is decent handling guard that can take more usage off of luka handling nice lowkey deal get it done thj prob wouyld since kcp could want 17 mill plus well see i think great move tho we dont need to ride with maxi and thj taking up 8 n 9 on the roster

    Nico Harrison did not listen to our calls ladies and gentlemen!! This man has not dont a single thing yet this offseason and we still have freaking Timmy, Maxi, and Green on our team. For the last time Nico, this is the trade package that will put you over the top for the next several years:

    Mavericks Acquired:
    SF/PF Jerami Grant
    SG/SF Matisse Thybulle

    Trail Blazers Acquired:
    SF/SG Tim Hardaway Jr
    PF/C Maxi Kleber
    SG/SF Josh Green
    2025 1st (top 15 protected)

    You must save your job with this move if you want the Mavs to be a championship team.

    Excellent position pick. It's the flex at the FWDs Coach Nico talking about, lots to work the units with. MAVS Land has a ton of guards & centers.
