If it's so ridiculously cheap to move up in this draft, then that ought to make even the Mavs' garbage assets currency enough to move up. In other words, either the "ridiculously cheap move-up" or "the Mavs are pulling out all the stops to move up" would be BS. Or a deal is done and waiting for the draft.
I'll say it again - I think the "Mavs want to move up" is either a smokescreen, or, more likely, they're trying to add a lottery pick in order to move it, and teams' asking price takes away other assets that they want to trade along with the lottery pick. That's just cynical speculation though. If we actually pick someone on draft day in the 4-18 range and actually keep him, I'll be a happy man.
My main chip to move up would not be 31 (because I want a shot at Tiger, Woodard, Reed, et al.) but rather Brunson. Cheap deal, good young player. I'm surprised that more around here don't put him in the DFS/Maxi/Curry "darn near untouchable/love our Boys in Blue" category. He should give plenty of move-up value.
15 days until the draft.
