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

Sounds like it would take a starting center. Dallas doesn't really have one to offer. And, the article doesn't read at all like Dallas is trying to move UP, more like they want to move OUT and defer for the future. Therefore, I'd put Dallas' chances of acquiring it pretty low.

I agree...but the article highlights that the Mavs DO have "coveted players" on their board. What if Eason is one? What if he is there at #15? I assume there is a complicated decision tree on these things and don't think it will be as simple as "we want out of the draft."
