"Win Now" mistakes
#8
I'm incredibly happy that they nailed the Lively pick, but I still agree with my above posts. The likelihood of things working out the way they did were low. Looking back through the draft, the only player taken at #10 or later who could have had a similar impact was Jaquez. The Mavs would have been in a really tough spot if they had taken anyone other than him or Lively. Full credit to their scouts for finding a gem and their coaches for bringing him along so quickly.

Having said that, Lively wasn't the only path to success. Dallas would have had an even better year if they had been able to trade for a guy like Claxton or Allen. Long term I obviously prefer Lively, but going for the sure thing (if available - and maybe it wasn't) was still a sensible option.
