MAVS NEWS:

[loki]

I agree with this.

The farther out the pick is, the more valuable it seems, in a way. I'd think more Mavs fans would get this concept, given that we're currently living through the worst case scenario that becomes possible when you trade your own far out picks. The teams holding those Mavs '27 and '29 picks are salivating over the possibilities right about now, and there's still a very real chance (though less than what I originally hoped) that Lakers pick the Mavs own might end up being the single best asset in the war chest at this point. Someone said it in this thread - teams' fortunes change so quickly now.

Luka opting out in 2028 to sign with the Mavs followed by the Lakers winning the 2029 lottery and sending that pick to Dallas is still in the cards.
