Could very well be, he would have fit them perfectly. 

I‘m still super happy they didn’t luck themselves into a top 4 pick in the lottery - that would have been devastating.

Mara may turn out to be really good.  We will see.  I just can’t imagine he was the top couple target for OKC.  

May said he didn’t know Dallas was picking Morez until draft day.  Morez didn’t know Dallas liked him until the day before.  I am sure Dallas and OKC talked trade leading up to the draft.  I assume when you have these discussions leading up to the draft you don’t talk prospects .  Just trade framework.  

Just a guess but OKC must have had a gut punch talking to teams ahead of them to find out they are staying and Morez, Burries and Yaxel were the picks.  All three sound like more appealing options to their team  than Mara
