Perfect scenario will be to nail the pick, to actually get the bpa regardless who he is or where you pick (whether we trade up or down)
I agree with this. It is not 100% but typically trading back for multiple things leaves you with a bunch of spare change down the road. Again, there are exceptions. So my #1 choice is to hit the 10 pick. We don’t need a star, but if you can draft someone who can play and grow now, that would be my choice.
But that doesn’t appear to be the mavs#1 route. When I hear some trade down names, most would be better short term upgrades. But I am not sure anything is there in two years. So if we were to trade the pick, I think I would be in favor of a guy in the mid to later 20’s who may have worn out there welcome. The Ayton level. But this would require a heart to heart talk with these guys before I committed. Note, the new CBA may make this a non starter but if feasible I think I could be talked into it.
