MAVS NEWS:

They had continuity because they got those guys when they were young.  I agree that continuiity is great if you've got a group of young players that work well together.  There's no continuity to be found with AD, KI, and Klay as most of your core.

True but then the education of playing with 3 older all star level talents is something most rookie of the year types never get a chance to experience and to that extent Cooper is blessed. He and Lively will be the core of the next team when we see Ky Klay and AD call it quits or get traded or whatever fate has in store. 

Having a star PF/ SF and a 5 to build around is a good start. I would assume that in the ending of the old regime the mavs may take matters to acquire picks and build around the draft or if trades matter more then that will be their modus operandi. PJ Gafford B Will Max and perhaps Naji who I pray improves his 3 a good deal will still be a part of the team and hopefully healthy and better developed. Maybe we don't trade of Omax and he is there to. 

So you would have 
Lively Gafford 
Cooper PJ
Naji Omax
Max 
B Will 

That leaves us 2 holes to fill at PG, 2 at the SG and 5 3rd stringers to work in. 

I assume that we are still adding more talent to the team this offseason and we should develop 3 players on 2 way deals. 

Probably we are going to add another PG. 

Assuming every other year we go to the WCF then this year we might do that so maybe someone out there in free agency is hungry to participate in that effort and they see our opening as an opportunity to be the final cog in a championship run. Irving can still recruit and sell someone on joining up. There are a lot of guys that can play among the undrafted this year. Maybe a PG that can hit 3's and dish will drop in our lap. We have LA's first rounder and they still have an aging 40 year old Lebron and nothing at the 5. Perhaps Luka is seeing that situation and thinking that he needs to ditch LA if they fail to materialize a better line up certainly that pick would be a lot better when they self destruct. LA blows things up we could take advantage. 

Some team is going to blow things up there are just to many over paid all stars that teams are going to want to jetison at the TDL. We can continue to gamble and get lucky on young players every off season while we still have our veterans and with luck we add another PG or a big perhaps. Parker was picked late in the draft at 28 as I recall. Kai Jones is young still and so is Moses Brown.

late in this draft there are some guys with size that dish and get assists. 

Look at the assists these guys are getting
https://www.tankathon.com/players/kobe-sanders 4.5 or 5.1/36 mins
https://www.tankathon.com/players/micah-peavy 3.6 or 3.5/36 mins

Smaller options:
https://www.tankathon.com/players/ryan-nembhard small but gets 9.8 or 10.1/36 mins
https://www.tankathon.com/players/javon-small 5.6 apg at around 36 mins a game. 

Maybe a one year deal with a vet free agent that wants to make good and get paid. I personally would focus on Coby White and selling the Bulls on something they need more. The mock I looked at said they will be getting Derick Queen at 12 and they have 6'8" Giddey already at PG.  They have Vuc at the 5 but maybe Queen is a better option there and Buzelis at the 4 or 3 makes sense. 

I used a trade checker sending Martin, Hardy and Naji for Lonzo and Coby and it said success. Now you got 2 PG's to try and you can trade one if needed. Lonzo is a dump so we take his bad deal on and then they give us Coby. Naji is a stud on D and has that scoring talent to lead a team when the real stars are down and injured. I will miss him but you got to give to get and Hardy and Martin are both threats from 3 and Hardy is still showing signs he can turn it up another notch with more consistant play time. Martin just needs to find the time to fit in and he is rotation piece. If I am not giving up enough then maybe we throw in a future 2nd round pick.
