Ugh.
Lively love it.
My only gripe is passing on Whitmore, otherwise, I'm fine with this.
I so desperately want them to get back into this draft. THJ for Holmes + #24 +#38? Get Sensabaugh and Vukcevic.

There is definitely a reason for his free fall we don't know about yet.

Rumor is health concerns. I’m willing to take that risk on a top 5 talent at 12
Clearly Nico doesn´t believe much in those 20-30 college/g-league games, and just picks based on highschool projections. Worked with Hardy. That might suggest they could try to get an extra pick for Whitehead, who was also top 5 projected before all his injuries.
Mavs still need an asset to execute SnT in July Smile

probably the thumb injury..
coupled with bad interviews most likely.
Center Rotation

But just in case some missed it the first time around: Screw Ainge.

Still have a gaping hole at PF. Wonder who they will fill that with.

Full MLE or $17m TE.  One of those.
I’ll touch on it when I have time, but more to this than just Lively.  TPE for someone above the MLE.  Room to use the MLE and stay under the 1st apron.  The math on this is really positive if we are willing to be hard capped.  Also have flexibility if Kyrie screws us.

Have a gaping hole at PF and C

Lively is about as raw as Josh Green. We'll be talking about him in 2026 whether he's ready to the next step
Nice. I was debating Lively vs Whitmore. Both would have been great. Lovely’s best trait fits this team better than Whitmore’s best trait. But let’s see if either reaches their potential.

Great to free up the MLE plus TPE. Mark is under the gun, he will try to use both imo.

Mavs also keep some assets and future draft to use for the right move as well.

Let’s go.

I also wonder who is going to start at center. It won’t be Lively.
