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

[DanSchwartzgan]

Dan is DFS really worth the #10 pick? That sounds high to me. I could see him being worth something in the 20 or later range. I don't see DFS as a lottery pick to someone. He's a solid player and a good glue guy. I know he's a strong defender. If the Mavs can trade him for the #10 and still keep 18/31, I would do that deal. We could get a strong player at 10 and then have options with 18/31. Possibly even package the 18/31 for a for a player that can help immediately.

Maybe I wasn’t clear.  For this to be “similar” to the Saric deal, it would be DFS plus 18 to move up to 10.  If Hayes is there and if you can replace DFS with DJJ you have set yourself up nicely with two more long term pieces.  Phoenix executing the deal early kind of limited some of what they can do.  DFS is a really nice get for them.  Fills a need in the forward rotation nicely and inexpensively.

Frank the Tank could certainly be cut, but if WCS opts out, he’d be a cheap replacement level guy here while we wait for KP and Powell to get to full strength.
