Scenario 1: They take Smith/Banchero/Holmgren.
Isaac + #32 + #35 for THJ + #26

I´d actually prefer #2 big time. #1 I like to keep the 26th pick and I think that is actually a more realistic situation.
Fultz will not be happy to be #4 behind Ivey, Anthony and Suggs. He´s still just 24 years old, and just 131 games, so enough own ambition. The Magic need some veteran leadership and shooting, too. Mosley knows THJ very well.
After watching Kessler a little more I start to like him. Enough really poor PG passes in his highlights that he caught in stride and just converted. So good body control and hands. He also doesn´t move like somebody that is 7´1 with 14% bodyfat. He seems to play with a motor and enthusiasm.
It´s so hard to predict this draft from like 18 to 45. I´ll just take Kessler, Koloko and Moore. So now I have a huge roster with 18 players, but worst case I just waive Burke, Brown, Chriss and Boban. Use the TP MLE on a veteran wing like Warren, OPJ, Ingles.
Doncic/Fultz/Ntilikina
Brunson/Dinwiddie/Moore
Bullock/Warren/Green
DFS/Kleber/Bertans
Powell/Kessler/Koloko
I think you are going to be disappointed again. Trades look very favorable for the Mavs. I like THJ the player more than most on this board but he is coming back from a major injury, is one the wrong side of 30 and is guaranteed more than 50m through the next three seasons. That´s not a positive asset.
Teams won´t give up assets to add him.
