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

Yep. It was worse case scenario for them. I had a big drop off after top 11 and that was the first 11 off the board
