I'm sure there are more than a few reading this and wondering "how did the Mavs offer beat that?"
Not me. The Mavs offer blows that out of the water, because I bet that Clippers pick wasn't quite as "future" as that UNPROTECTED '29. Essentially, the Nets are betting that Luka will not be on this team by then, and that the '29 pick will really, really be a good one. And I'd say the odds are in their favor. The Mavs just paid a HUGE price for this insane gamble that has almost no chance of working out.
