Doncic + Dragic = NBA finalists. That's the guy he needs for the mavs. We've seen the crazy efficiency these two had as a duo. As amazing as Irving is, he's not the right fit for Luka. Both have to be on the same page for a duo to work and bring results. Like Jokic and Murray or Kobe and Gasol or Shaq.
Rafeal know his stuff. Damn right Dallas should draft DERECK LIVELY II with the 10th pick if no good trades are on the table. I have been on the Dereck Lively II train from the draft lottery night. Taking him with 10th pick is not ideal, but is worth the risk to get a young center that can do everything asked from the get go. Rebound, block shoots, PNR, lobs, and if Rafeal is right shoot the 3. You don't need a 3 point shot coming into the league. Nikolas Vucevic or Jonas Valanciunas, both were not 3 point shooter until their 6th or 7th season.
If Mavs keep their pick, look for Brandin Podziemski(6.5')! He is better than Cason Wallace almost on every important aspect(8.8 Reb, 43.80% 3P, 19.9ppg, 2.3TO). He is like a little Luka, but faster and better sniper… 🎉
Kobe Brown(6.7')is another underated prospect(45.5% 3P).😮
Trayce Jackson Davis(6.9', 20.9 ppg, 10.9 Reb, 2.9 Blk, 4 Ast, 2.5 TO, very strong 23 yo player).
Tristan Vukcevic(6.11'/over 38%3P, very good on Combine Draft Games), bc Lively is weak on offence…

I think filling the hole left by DFS might be a key offseason target. Weather that's free-agency or draft, I dont know. But he was 6'7" 220 lbs. who could defend both SFs on the wing and PFs down low. I'd like to see a 6'9" 220 guy who can do those things, but defend the rim better when he drops down, like Keegan Murray. Hendricks is 6'9" but at 210 lbs, I'm not sure. Maybe add 5lbs of muscle, then we're talking.
Players for the Mavericks to trade for with the number 10 pick: Jakob Poeltl, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Goga Bitadze, Aleksej Pokusevski, Isaiah Hartenstein, Omer Yurtseven, Kenyon Martin, Vit Krejci, or Marko Simonovic.
The Mavericks at 10, should look to draft Rayan Rupert, Bilal Coulibaly, Jordan Walsh, or Nikola Durisic. If they look to move back they should look to draft Tosan Evbuomwan, Oso Ighodaro, Zvonimir Ivisic, Branden Carlson, Efe Abogidi, Colin Castleton, Armel Traore or Malcolm Cazalon. They would all be a good fit for the Mavericks and playing next to Luka.
