DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

My reaction to the Mavs making #18 available:


You can make #18 available in an effort to...

1) move UP because you want a guy who you think could be a star and help much more immediately next to Luka/KP

2) move DOWN because you think you can get the same value later in the draft (which very much could be the case this year)

3) move OUT for a star

I'll disagree once again.  

I think they're making #18 available because they're
a) impatient to spend 3 years developing a role player
b) not confident in their ability to find such a guy at 18

They'd rather have the sure thing now and would trade that pick for a much less than a star.

Neglecting the draft has been their MO now for a long time except when they've had an opportunity to get a franchise player.
