This years draft class is bigmen heavy. There will be rotation level talent available in the late first round. Question is if the Mavs can nail the pick.
They would have to really nail that pick. Big men generally take longer to develop than other positions, they will be picking late in the draft, and they really need a starting quality big. They also have a limited history going the draft route in general and they are clearly in win now mode as well.
Given that they need a starter, have a ton of filler salaries that are expendable and a pick to trade, I see that being the most logical route, especially given this FO history.
