went I was on lockedown NBA with Pat and with Mavs draft Richard staman and uh things happened did they matter I don’t know for the whole NBA see a lot of things that really changed the landscape of the league Mel Bridges trade happened and that that changed things a lot for sure that was great Denny Avia trade that kind of changed some things for the Tim Hardway junor trade stles we’ll talk about that a little bit today we’ll talk about can the Mavericks get in on Brooklyn ‘s fire sale they trade away Mel Bridges they get their own pick back so now that they can tank they’re going to trade away all their other guys cu the MS get Dorian back and they get Cam Johnson I’ll tell you there’s a couple ways that they can I think and then I’ve got three players to watch on day two of the NBA draft I got three guys that I’m I’m interested in for the Mavericks at 58 or maybe if they move up from 58 so we’ll talk about that a little bit later but let’s start here the rumors are are not flying for the Dallas Mavericks but they are there are there are some trickling in Mark Stein still still doing the the great work over there at his substack great substack so subscribe to Mark sign substack if you have not it’s must read all the time for Dallas Mavericks fans and he reports that there’s another team that emerged for Tim Hardway JR we’ve been talking about the Pistons we talk about Quinton Grimes we talking about him as an option for the Mavericks because they’ve been a team connected to the Mavericks now the Washington Wizards are a team that’s also connected to the Mavericks they seem to be open for business they make the Denny abdia trade to the Portland Trailblazers they get another pick then they trade and get another pick and so they’re doing a bunch of things and Mark Stein also reports he said I’m told that the Mavericks are working directly with hardways Agent Mark bartl to help the player find a new home after his five and a half seasons in Dallas I’m going to start with this real quick what do the Mavericks owe Tim Hardway Jr why come out and say this why report this I I always ask why on some of these reports why report this what’s the point of saying you know what we’re not just going to send Tim Hardway Jr anywhere we’re not just going to send him to to Siberia we’re not just going to send him to wherever you know wherever and all that we’re actually going to work with him we’re work with him to figure out a place where he wants to go he gave us five and a half years he resigned with us I don’t think that the Mavericks owe Tim hard Jr anything like that but why do they do this Nico Harrison is very good at a couple things and there’s a word that I keep coming back to when it comes of nicoo Harrison and seeing him sit next to Patrick Dumont the Mavs new governor the the guy that’s basically the owner now of the Dallas Mavericks seeing him sit next to him during some some playoff games and uh I think Nico Harrison is a schoer I think he can schmoo and I think he’s very good at the corporate thing he worked at Nike for a long time he represented players for you know for the Nike brand he was you know had to work his way up that corporate ladder he had to work with Executives and some Executives that aren’t necessarily like basketball people so he need to work with them he had to figure out how to to get on their good side figure out how to convey his message and his ideas and honestly I saw this report and at first I thought well that’s kind of stupid what do the Mavs though Tim Mar Jr and then I started thinking about it go this is Nico Harrison this is niiko Harrison working his magic being like hey Agent Mark bin let’s work together let’s let’s you and I let’s you and I work together on this Tim Hardway Jr trade because bartlein has a ton of other clients he’s an agent has a ton of other clients and the agent relationships matter and the Maverick’s relationship to those agents matter a l lot it’s a new regime now the old is gone the new has come and nicoo Harrison his front office he’s shmooing he’s schmoozing and I kind of like that so I was for that after after I thought about it for a minute I was like why are they reporting this why is Stein reporting this and then I was like you know what think I get it but now the Mavericks are potentially trading with the Washington Wizards and if you start looking at all right who could they potentially trade for Denny abio was kind of one of those guys that the contract ma matched with with Tim arway Jr they could potentially make that deal and then now he goes to Portland and he get goes to Portland for two first two seconds and they get Brogden back which I guess brogon can be sent now to uh to make another deal and so I think that’s kind of interesting overall the Mavs could not have matched that deal so everybody that was trying to go after Denny I kept I kept shutting it down because I said why would the Wizards trade Denny well they would trade him for two first round picks in two seconds as well to kind of reset everything and they’re really going for the tank I mean they are they’re really going for the tank next year they got three rookies they brought in SAR with the second overall pick they you know they’re really going for next year with the Cooper flag draft but if you start looking around at at Players the Wizards could trade for Tim Hardway Jr CBA MAV said this really interesting thing on Twitter that that I found uh and he said we need the Mavs need to take back $4.2 million or less to have access to the entire non-t taxpayer mid-level exception that’s about $12.8 million for this upcoming year to sign Derrick Jones Jr back and have a minimum player to to fill the 15th roster spot it’s important all this math stuff is important all the CBA stuff is super important the order of operations is matters for the Mavericks and that’s why the Mavericks have been so connected to Quinton Grimes because Grimes make 4.29 million it’s like it’s like honestly like couple like a tens of thousands too much just a little bit like the Mavs would have to just do a little bit more to to make it actually work for them to be able to have access to this non-t taxpayer mid-level exception to be able to resign Derrick Jones Jr and remember that Nico Harrison said priority 1 a and priority 1 B is to sign d Jones Jr back to bring him back to resign him back to make sure he’s not on the team and to me I think that is appropriate I think that’s good business because you don’t want to take a step back if you’re the Dallas Mavericks and losing derck Jones Jr for nothing would absolutely be a step back there’s going to be teams with cap space and I’ll tell you a couple of those right here but if you’re looking around and saying all right how can the Mavericks get access to that taxpayer mid level get off of Tim marway Jr’s deal the expiring deal of him maybe get a guy back that can contribute and then also able to resign Tim Mar or resign drick Jones Jr with that and maybe another a 15th guy with a minimum here’s a couple players that match you know CBA MAV said that the 4.2 kind of million dollar uh player or less and the team that has cap space because they have to be able to take in more because Tim hard making 16 million so they have to be able to take in at least $12 million and then send out 4.2 something so the Mavericks can take that back Grimes is a player that fits really he’s very very close one of the players that’s honestly the closest in the in the league and Detroit’s projected to have about $62 million in cap space so that’s why it’s they’re a prime candidate math Wise It’s they’re kind of one of the only teams that you’re like oh they have more Captain they know what to do with they have a player that kind of fits what the Mavs want he could come back and he could actually contribute for the Mavericks and there we go the other options for the Mavericks the Thunder are going to have about $32 million in cap space wild insane that they have that much they got two players that I think kind of fit Lindy Waters the hall pass God and then Isaiah Joe I don’t think they’re going to be trade Isaiah Joe for Tim Hardway like hey let me give you the the shorter younger version for the older taller version but they both make 2.1 million so maybe they could do something like that maybe with with both of them but the Mavs would have to send them draft compensation do the same thing like they did when the Thunder helped the MS out for the Daniel Gafford trade Thunder is kind of an option another option the magic are about to have $32 million in cap space they don’t really have anybody that’s an option except for Caleb Houston making $2 million and I don’t know Caleb Houston would would help the Mavericks or play or anything like that but that’s kind of an option if they want to do go down that route magic could really want shooting and then all of a sudden the Mavericks trade that and they get $4 million so then you get taxpayer mid- level exception you sign the 15th roster spot and then you’re like okay well at least we dumped Tim Hardway to resign Derrick Jones Jr that would be the trade-off right there the Sixers are going to have like $53 million in cap they don’t have anyone on their roster except for embiid Paul Reed Ricky Council like uh and one other guy joh dton they only have four guys on the roster it’s kind of insane to look at their cap sheet right now go to spot Trak and look at the Sixers roster right now it’s insane to look at it but Ricky Council makes 1.8 million I don’t think the Sixers are going to be involved in this where you trade Tim arway Jr to them and all of a sudden it messes up some of their cap they want it for they’re big fish hunting they’re trying to go get they’re trying to go get a Paul George or Klay Thompson somebody like that but Sixers are technically an option the last one and guys this is like it like these are the only kind of options if you want to do a deal like this the Jazz they’re about to have like $31 million in cap this is all according to ESPN these cap projections so yell at them if they’re wrong Bryce sensah they just drafted what last year year before he’s been making 2.6 on his rookie deal and Darius basley making 2.4 I don’t think Bry sensal would play on the Mavericks uh Dari basley just didn’t play on the Thunder and then got moved around and so I don’t think he’s playing either uh but there at least play the Mavs could dump and bring bring a guy bring some interesting is young guys back and like those are your options it’s not a good group of players Grimes is definitely the best player that I listed on all that and a realistic one so the MS kind of have to push that one through kissper on the Wizards makes about $5.7 million so he’s he makes more the Mavs would have to do something else they’ have to send some some more money over the Wizards and take back a little B more if you want to match the you know be able to that have access to that entire non- taxpayer mid-level exception maybe they don’t need access to all of it maybe it’s just enough but I don’t think so I think they need to do I they need to get access to full to all of it and there’s only like six teams the Mavs could trade Tim Hardway Jr to into their cap space to take back a player that makes it work the Jazz the Sixers the magic the Thunder or the Pistons and that’s it it’s wild and so that’s where the Mavericks are with this coming up let’s talk about some of the other uh talk talk about some of the other options how does uh how can the Mavericks get in on the the Brooklyn fire sale can they get Cam Johnson can they get Dorian fin Smith maybe but they’ll have to punt on something I’ll talk about that coming up you don’t believe you shouldn’t be here today’s episode is brought to you by Game Time download the game time app and

one of you for checking us out even after the NBA draft was kind of a snoozefest appreciate you jumping in and listening to the show today uh you are absolutely part of the raccoon Squad if you listen to the show every day appreciate you and every one of you all right Isaac let’s get into couple of the things for the Brooklyn Nets the Brooklyn Nets they trade Mel Bridges they also get their pick back from the Houston Rockets kind of a wild deal I was listening to Jackson Gatlin of locked on rockets and I was like why did the Rockets just do this and kind of he kind of talked me into it they basically the Rockets basically decided okay so this whole season we’ve been trying to give the Nets their own picks back because we got their picks in the Harden trade so we’re going to try to give you your picks back to get Mel Bridges to make our team better and the rockets all and nuts All Season went no no no we don’t want to do that we don’t want to do that that we don’t want to trade mckel Bridges to you we’re actually not trading mckel Bridges and they’re like okay and then this off then this offseason the Nets go to them and say hey actually we would like our picks back they’re like okay well we’ve been trying to get Mel Bridges and they’re like no no no we have a different thing set up they’re gonna give us way more the the Knicks you wouldn’t believe how much the Knicks are going to give us for Mel Bridges and so the Brooklyn Net go so just give us our picks back and we’ll give you the sun’s picks in like a couple years after our picks and the rockets thought about it and they go all right well instead of trying to offer you your own picks back Brooklyn for Mel Bridges we’ll take the Suns picks and soon we’re gonna offer the Suns their picks back for Kevin Durant they just kind of kicked it down the road so all this to say now the Nets have their own pick back they traded Mel Bridges and got a ton a a whole ton I mean like a honestly like a like a ton for Miguel Bridges from the Nets because he was like I want to play with my friends and I will only play with my friends and you got to trade me there so they got five first which is insane that’s like as much as they got for the go bear deal think about that and so now they have that and now the Nets can tank and they’re going to take a lot so now they have this fire sale and so they’re punting the Mavericks can go get a Dorian a cam Johnson they could go do that if they if they tried and if they had enough and if the the Nets agreed to it they would have to completely punt on Derrick Jones Jr I cannot find a trade that works to get a a Dorian FY Smith a cam Johnson a Dennis shuder without the Mavs completely punting on bringing back Derrick Jones Jr because the Nets don’t have cap space remember they have Ben Simmons taking up $40 million cam Johnson making 23 and a bunch of other guys making like double digit Millions on their books they’re not one of the teams I mentioned earlier that have cap space that can take in a contract and send you less and then all of a said you have space the Mavericks have space now to make something happen with Derrick Jones Jr it’s a whole math game this is why nicoo Harrison got to the podium and said our number one priority is to bring back Derrick Jones Jr we have no idea how we’re going to do it but we’re we’re gonna do it so and they just signed Nick claxon back for uh four years 100 million too okay three trades to be able to get Dorian or Cam Johnson there was one we mentioned the other day with Lauren gun the one that we talked about me and lock down Nets talked about this with the the ultimate mock Dorian and Dennis shuder for Tim Hardway Jr and Josh Green just straight out so you’re saying all right we’re gonna punt on joshh Green in his development he’s 23 we we think he can be good we think he can be a good role player for us but we’ll take Dorian who’s older has like two years left on his deal and schroer who’s on a one-year deal who’s older as well we’ll go for the instant gratification of those guys to to fit right into our you know fit right into our rotation Dorian will will replace Derrick Jones Jr shter will help us because he’ll he’ll eat up some of those minutes when luuka or Kyrie are out and we need somebody to just create offense and and get Buckets and all that we’ll figure out something to do with maxi because we can’t have shter and Maxi on the same team like okay do you know all the German national team drama do you know the reason why Maxi doesn’t play for the German national team it’s Dennis Sher I’ll tell you that probably not going to happen probably not going to happen that one one is like all right it’s very shortsighted to get rid of to to lose Josh Green for that uh I don’t know that it makes them a ton better I don’t like the idea of D of Dorian replacing dck Jones Jr as much as you know I love Dorian he’s not the point of attack Defender that the Mavericks need and they were already struggling that area it does help you shooting wise’s a better shooter than Derrick Jones Jr Derrick Jones J was a better like cutter uh lob finisher rebounder probably than Dorian and shudder can get his shot better than D than Tim Hardway can so yeah you probably get you could probably get better there but you’re losing Tim Josh green and Dereck Jones Jr if you get Dory an intruder so that that’s tough the other options if you want cam Johnson so a couple people have texted me on the subtext line have commented can we get Cam Johnson all right you can get Cam Johnson for Josh green and Maxi and some picks you got a first in the future you got four seconds you probably probably might take all of them but cam Johnson’s deal is not that great he’s like he’s also like 28 he’s not super young either and so maybe you can do that Josh green and Maxi but and then maybe you can do a Tim Hardway Jr deal with the Pistons somewhere else but you don’t have then you wouldn’t really have picks to sweeten the deal there so maybe you had a Hardy there maybe they’re interested in that and so maybe you do something else over there and you could still have your cake and eat it too so that one actually if you do if you do cam Johnson for Josh green and Maxi with some of the picks or all the picks a first and four seconds then do Tim Hardway to the Pistons say do you still do the Quinton Grimes deal you can get Quinton Grimes and cam Johnson clear enough space for Derek Jones Jr that’d be an amazing offseason honestly the other problem about cam Johnson is’s injured all the time so he might not cost a lot because he’s injured all the time he costs kind of a lot for what he brings I don’t know it’s interesting if you want cam cam Johnson and Dorian you have to do Josh Green Tim Hardy Jr Maxi and then you’d probably have to do the the first and and the four seconds to try and make that happen because just to make it enough for Brooklyn to say yeah let’s do that cuz Brooklyn right now is an asset accumulation they need stuff they’re not just going to take Tim and Maxi and be like all right yeah sure great we’ll help you out they want stuff they need to rebuild they’ve been in they’ve been in purgatory for a while over there so it is possible and actually there was one scenario I did mention the Cameron the cam Johnson for Josh and Maxi and pix and then do Tim Hardway Jr somewhere else to a cap space team where you could actually get both both things you can bring Derrick Jones Jr back you get Cam Johnson you lose some of your guys but it’s interesting Shuffle the pieces around some interesting things this C this new CBA is making it real difficult to try and come up with with trades and stuff because there’s so many other things there’s probably stuff that I’m missing like one of you will probably comment and be like I can’t believe you forgot that they can’t trade with this team there probably is there’s just so many different rules even Bobby marks who’s like was an assistant GM has a hard time sometimes when he’s talking on some of these shows where he goes you know what they could do this actually you know what they can’t because there’s this stipulation and all that coming up though the Mavs can make a trade to uh get up in the draft or they just stay at 58 and I’ve got three players to watch for the 58th pick or in the second round coming up on uh Thursday we’ll talk about those guys coming up you don’t believe you shouldn’t be here shut it down let’s go all right Isaac let’s get two three players to watch on day two of the NBA draft uh we talked about this a couple days ago and IAL I gave you five players to watch for day two of the draft one of them already went which is wild Dylan Jones who was kind of like the the guard version of Grant Williams like at least body type wise he already went crazy so this draft is already off the rails a little bit there um but yeah he went way higher than a lot of people expected still guys still on the board that I talked about a couple days ago Bobby Clint he’s still on the board but he’s probably going to go early in the second round Jaylen Bridges remember the wing he’s the the wing for from Baylor right I’m really into him I like him and then uh Tristan Newton he’s still on the board as well remember Tristan Newton is the like the 64 guard glue guy intangibles all that stuff he went to Yukon so those those two guys Jaylen Bridges and Tristan Newton I’m really into those guys I think the M the th those two guys could help the Mavericks but I got three more players that I think could absolutely help the Mavs and my first one is anine wat Anton Watson from Gonzaga Gonzaga forward Anton Watson is among the most versatile defenders in this entire draft class I’m Andy Patton the host of the lockon zags podcast Watson is a 6 fo8 forward who excelled as a perimeter Defender across Five Seasons with the Bulldogs finishing second all time in steals for Gonzaga behind John Stockton Watson also improved his three-point percentage and volume of three-point attempts in each of his Five Seasons in Spokane and now profiles like a three and D Wing at the next level Watson profiles similarly to longtime NBA veteran Robert Covington especially if he can find consistency with his outside shot for more on Anton Watson and all things Gonzaga basketball check out the lock on zags podcast available on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast there you go that’s Andy Patton from lockon college basketball and lockon Gonzaga this boy this this guy loves his college basketball let me tell you doing a job I could not do Anon awson a 68 wing with a seven foot wingspan 23 years old he’s been at gager for a while like Andy said he has improved his three-point shot he ended up shooting 41% on threes his senior year or his last year in college but only on 1.5 a game so not a lot great defender good finisher at the rim with either hand can post up smaller guys he can be a good cutter and screener they kind of used him as a center kind of used him as a five at Gonzaga at times and so he’s definitely an interesting guy if you want to like bring somebody in and try and make like try and mold him into this three and D Wing if you take him in the second round I’m for that an Anton Watson I I’m really into I I think I saw you know a lot of things where I go man like he doing good basketball stuff like I think he could he could he could do a little bit more on the NBA level than some of these other second round picks so Anton wat Watson is definitely somebody to watch on day two see where he goes maybe he falls to the Mavericks I saw uh the ringer had him at like 60 or something like that and so Mavs that’s right where the Mavs could take him so that that’s interesting um he’s not going to do a lot else with the ball the three-point shot I don’t know if it’s real he’s kind of got this release where it goes behind his head and um it’s a little bit slow and so he’s got to work on that for sure but the Mavs have helped other guys with their shots but interesting guy 68 7 foot wingspan I’m interested to see how he defends against like NBA guards in space because if you’re a guard if you’re a wing Defender and you’ve been guarding like centers and bigs and stuff like that you look a lot better in college than you do against like guards in the NBA next one I’m kind of interested in is Isaiah Crawford here’s our guy Richard shamon Isaiah Crawford is one of the most interesting Wing prospects in this entire draft class my name is Richard samon you might know me better as Mavs draft I’m from the on NBA Big Board podcast I got to see Isaiah Crawford actually play several years in a row I saw him as a freshman a sophomore a junior saw him in his last year this year at Portsmith when he went there which is a postseason tournament for seniors and Isaiah Crawford is really interesting because he’s 66 has a seven foot plus wingspan massive hands he plays a lot like kawhai Leonard that’s always been his comp his baby Kawai now he’s not going to be kawh Leonard probably but he is somebody that can defend he can create a little bit of his own shot in terms of getting a mid-range jumper off he’s athletic he’s battled some injuries but now that he’s here he could be that ultimate do it all Wing that scales down into the NBA he’s he’s a big favorite for I think a lot of teams that value the second round picks and also just he’s a big favorite among people who do what we do it’s draft scouting he’s really popular because of all those tools that unique Wing big he’s strong he’s developed his body so look for Isaiah Crawford to have a wide range of outcomes and be a high upside play and in the second round yeah Isaiah Crawford real interesting one because you can see it like you can see the vision for there and all these guys you’re taking a risk because you know they’re they’re only going this low in the draft because there’s a lot of things where you go all right there’s a lot of ways where this could just go really wrong for this guy but Isaiah Crawford 66 7 foot wingspan 22 years old like like Richard said plays like Kawai athletic defends well can defend multiple positions too thought shot 39% from three across all his college he went to a mid- major he went to to Louisiana Tech so like a step down from from you know top college basketball and so he’s got to take a a huge step forward in in the competition he’s playing against and so that’s the thing where you go all right maybe he turns into like a mini Kawai but maybe he can’t hang it’s like okay well you find that out 58th pick or you trade up a little bit and you grab a guy but he can fit really well and he can you know come in and be three and D really early on if he wants to just start with that and then add a little bit more and add a little bit more but that’s an interesting risk like high high you know High reward lowrisk type pick if you want to take Isaiah Crawford like Richard said a lot of draft guys really like him I think that’s an interesting pick so Isaiah Crawford definitely somebody to watch another guy to watch is Trey Alexander kraton came back for one more go round with the blue jays and stepped in to take on the majority of the playmaking duties I’m Isaac shade from locked on college basketball Alexander is a 21 year-old 6490 pound guard who was the second leading scorer for an elite offensive kraton team 17.6 points 5.7 boards and 4.7 assists He’s listed as a shooting guard but I don’t think of him as a classic shooter he can have an impact in the NBA but my question is what is his true positional fit he’s got the size and athleticism to guard one I think all the way up to three and part of that is his 6 foot1 inch wingspan Alexander will also need to add to his frame to survive the rigors of an NBA season but I see him becoming a helpful role player how about Malcolm Brogden as a ceiling player comp or a secondary playmaker role similar to Chris Middleton for more on Trey Alexander and all things college basketball follow And subscribe locked on college basketball on YouTube and anywhere you get podcasts there’s Isaac Shan great great guy great energy locked on college basketball lock on uh UNCC to Tar Heels uh the Chris Middleton one does not do not who this guy is but I get what he’s saying it’s like a secondary playmaker somebody else that can they can come in and make a play Trey Alexander 63 610 wingspan which is interesting he’s 21 years old I do agree with the Malcolm Brogden comparison just like a you know a 6-3 guard that Malcolm brogen’s a little bit bigger than that but big wingspan decent spot up shooter he only shot 33% though from three but where he really can shine is good pick and roll Creator is really good at floaters really good at getting in that mid that short mid-range spot creating a shot mid-range pull-ups floaters things like that really really efficient in that area he does like a burst off the dribble for or like a real Shifty handle stuff like that not really great at The Rim like once he gets there and uh not great defensively he’s not going to shut anybody down but he’s got that 1610 wingspan which can really help at that point in that level too uh so Trey Alexander if you want to go with a guard like all right we just need a guard to come in and run a couple possessions you know maybe maybe it works out and that floater is really great and it becomes like Jaylen Brunson level like maybe not Jaylen Brunson level but becomes what Jaylen Brunson did second and third year with the Mavericks where you go okay all of a sudden this guy can get his own shot like I’m starting to see it he’s averaging double digit points and you’re starting to see it there but Trey Alexander another guy to watch again none of these guys are going to blow you away none of these guys are you’re going to go oh man the maps just just nailed this yic picks a manager no pick once in you know what every two decades you get but Draymond Green second round there’s a lot of guys in second round that that end up painting out and so you just have to draft the guy that does Anton Watson Isaiah Crawford Trey Alexander guys to watch along with Tristan Newton Jaylen Bridges Bobby Clint there’s some there’s there you go there’s six guys to watch actually in the second round for the Mavericks but there you go that’s some rumors that’s the Mavs in the draft guys thanks so much for hanging out with me on lockdown Ms listening to the show appreciate each and every one of you subscribe subscribe to the subtext if you want to support the show more thanks so much for listening to locked on Mavs peace out boom

First and only one lol… Noone is awake!
This channel made me MORE of a Mavs fan
Let it ride 😎😏
Let it rideeeee
What do you expect the Mavs to do on Day 2 of the NBA Draft?
I think the mavs will try to get one more pick in the second round and draft players that can work in the rotation from day 1. That would help salary cap wise.
Is it me, or does trading THJ so they can sign a guy that was on a minimum deal last year seem like taking a “step back?” The guy had been in the league for 8 years, plays next to Luka for a season and now WE’RE the ones to open up the check book? Just doesn’t seem like a smart move. The only way this isn’t taking a step back is if you upgrade the THJ spot as well. Seems like common sense that you wouldn’t make DJJ a huge priority and use maxi/thj/picks to add a third scoring option.
Also Mavs can trade green to Cam Thomas
LET IT RIDEEEEEEEE
I really dont want Jeremi Grants Horrible Contract he reminds me of the Wesley Matthews tenure in Dallas pleasd dont make the Same Mistakes they did to dirk and not go all out with Talent dont Waste Lukas prime
The only Alexander I want from this draft for the mavs is not Trae Alexander but Alexandre SARR… please Nico please
MAVS PLEASE DRAFT BRONNY JAMES DON’T MESS THIS UP 😓
Could Patty Mills have something left in the tank as a 3rd ball handler? He's a good vet presence and will probably sign for a minimum.
How many locked on channels are there? Jesus
Remove THJ, resign DJJ. Draft a better ball handler to replace exum. Develop omax into a driver and scorer and see where youre at by mid season with him. If need more then make a trade mid season
We need a wing who can create and play d like a pg and a couple reliable bucket getters like bog from atl or like a cam Johnson

I think Wiggins maybe the best option for us. He will not require any first round pick, he is a great defender on guards/forward, great size. Real upgrade from DJJ in the starting line up
