2022 NBA Draft: #37 Jaden Hardy (6' 3", 6' 9" WS) to DAL | two 2nds to SAC

Fischer: The Charlotte Hornets have long been considered a potential landing spot for Turner, and the Hornets have communicated around the league a willingness to move the No. 15 pick, sources said.

Yeah, it will take 26 (at least) to get into the Turner conversation. Mavericks were not mentioned among the interested teams, however. 

The Dallas Mavericks, picking No. 26, and Golden State Warriors, picking No. 28, are motivated to find deals for their late-first round selections, sources told B/R. Dallas and Golden State have expensive rosters that feature players such as Brunson, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins who are due for paydays.

The Mavericks and Warriors are searching for opportunities to acquire future draft capital for those selections, sources said, in the event a coveted player on their boards doesn't fall. Another possible outcome is that they will select international draft-and-stash players.

This actually makes sense to me. If you value the draft, but DON'T want to cut someone semi-valuable and eat some guaranteed money (that you'll have to pay tax on) in the process, finding a way to turn this year's pick into a future pick is not a bad idea at all.
