Mavs don't need to do anything if they don't want to, but if they don't think they are going to invest 15-18 million to extend Marshall, now may be the time to move him. Would 30, Marshall plus a second for a salary and early 20's pick work? That is a lot to give up but if there is a player you really like..... Ideally I would love for the Mavs to leave the draft with two players in their top 15.
I still harshly disagree with their decision to not move Marshall at the TDL. Any contending team trading for him would have gotten two postseason runs out of him before he hits UFA. Now his value should be significantly less.
I like Burries A LOT but this draft is / was their best shot to select a robin. He is not quite that type of prospect Imo. I am sure hed be a top 10 pick five years down the road in a redraft but ultimately this team needs more than a safe rotation guy. That is why I am still SO SO disappointed about them drafting only at #9.
Brown Jr also gives me serious DSJ vibes. Super flashy and unlike Dennis he even has the physical attributes on top of elite athleticism but I question his feel for the game and ability to run a team.
Selecting only two spots higher would have made me a lot more optimistic. I rate all of Wagler, Flemmings and Acuff higher than Burries / Brown in terms of who I could see turn into a nr 2 option here.
Id probably still go Brown > Burries but could also understand them going an entirely different direction.
