2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

I believe for them it's all about turning that #30 in this season's draft (where they apparently don't like anyone) into a 2027 pick they believe could potentially be a lottery pick. They are eating Green's money as payment for another dice roll. 

As an aside, if Green is healthy he's a pretty good player. He's no Kleber, but he IS a big who can shoot, which is something most teams want these days. They might make another cozy deal at the deadline that nets them another draft asset for shipping him out to a contender. 

I know they are good at stacking the draft capital. Nobody is better. I just think they go overboard, personally. As a fan, I'm not sure I could get excited about it year after year after year. I do wish the Mavs had been better at it during that 3-5 years when it was appropriate for them to go that route.

They still have pick 34.  They just have way to many picks.  I believe they are going to try to move up from 12, but that is just a guess at my part.    There has been talk Charlotte could move up with 13 and 15.   OKC can blow anything out of the water if they really like a player and a team has interest in moving for the right offer.   

I read Denver can't trade a future first until '29, so it is going to be important they hit on at least one of these picks to either find a promising player on a rookie deal or someone who is viewed as an asset for a future deal.
