So this combines things that literally only the Dallas Mavericks don´t do, cause....
1. Mark Cuban does not believe in draft picks.
2. Mark Cuban does not believe in taking on bad contracts for compensation.
3. Mark Cuban has not spent money on such a move ever.
3.1.) So you better believe he´s not doing it now, when he´s in luxury tax territory.
It´s what we always do. We give away draft picks to sign mediocre players like Delon Wright in free agency, while other teams then acquire him for two draft picks from us, so we can sign more Delon Wrights in free agency.
Hopefully the new MBT is smarter than that.
So far all we have seen is the new MBT trying to be smarter than the old MBT, while working around Mark Cuban´s playbook. I have seen no new pages added (yet).
Zach Collins +#38
Mo Harkless + Alex Len + #37
could be very sensible moves to me.
Why not just buy a secondrounder, if that's what we want?
I'm pretty sure you can get one from OKC for the cash we can give out.
Why would you waste 30Mio on something you could get for 2Mio or maybe 1Mio or 3Mio.
That said, what kind of player do you want to pick then?
