Hopefully it is a lottery pick what kind of protection is on that pick? If there is any at all I am going to be pissed off at NTI.
I believe the pick is unprotected, and I believe it's going to be a good one, whether the Mavs help them with a center or not. The Buss/Pelinka combo has been a disaster in LA, and in fact, the franchise would have been a dumpster fire for like 15-20 years if not for LeBron randomly deciding he wanted to live in LA and then the Luka deal happening. I'm quite confident they won't win a championship any time soon.
To your point, that pick would be my most prized asset if I was a Mavs decision maker (next to Cooper Flagg, of course).
