Do you think the NBA will now let Nico trade that pick, I don't. The long term goal for the Mavs and the NBA is a new arena and gambling starting in 2031. The NBA is a business and there is a reason why Rick Welts was brought in last year.
I'm predicting that Nico will be gone by the end of the month and Bob Myers will be the Mavs new GM prior to the draft.
Myers would be a good get. I'd be pleased with MOST alternatives to Nico, frankly. There are some out there who would not be good, however, but as Stein pointed out, the BEST out there would now love this job which has a very talented roster and spare high-value assets to use in trades (assuming a change would get done BEFORE Nico has a chance to do another of his bad asset-killing trades).
