2021 NBA DRAFT: July 29, 7 pm

[cow]

Pelicans have picks 35, 43, 51 and 53 in the second round.    They could be a target if you want to buy a pick or make a small trade.

Which one of those is ours?

Still curious if we had to buyout Igor's contract 
should be plenty of 2nd round picks up for sale if we have any cash left

does any of u have a bigboard from the mavs most needed guys from lets say late first to second round? maybe we will buy or trade into the draft this year

Don´t think any of us created a list this year. Not sure about external sites. Looking through the thread we have mostly discussed late 2nd round or potentially undrafted options. Recently focused on guys that worked out for the Mavs (all of them in the late 2nd / undrafted category).

If we trade into the draft, I'm going to have to research the guy(s). I have done hardly any research on this draft and none on the second round candidates.

The answer is almost certainly yes. That's how these things work. But from a roster-building perspective, it doesn't matter either way.

Some seem to think that the buyout takes away some, if not all, the cash we could include in a trade.

The only way Mavs can officially pay money is to take from that 5 mil they can spend. Of course it is theoretically possible that Kokoskov pays the "fee" on his own.

I've never watched Jalen Green play or followed his career.  Someone convince me he's not a better version of Terrence Ross or Malik Monk.

I was surprised how much I liked Duarte when I watched highlights.   Just a beautiful shot.   If I squint I can see a little Klay Thompson.   I don't think he will approach Thompson but I can see the appeal.

He is 24 so that typically is not a great sign but I liked a lot of his highlights.  I can see a lot of playoff caliber teams in the teens and 20's who would be interested in moving up for a guy who can help you now.  Sounds like you may need to get up to 13.
