Since THJ's opt in date isn't until after the draft, is it even POSSIBLE to package him with #18? Moving #18 would have to be a draft night trade, correct? I don't think it's a fit as a package.
You can say, I guess, that the Mavs could simply draft a player and then package that player with THJ after he opts in, but to me, the chance to pick who you want at #18 (even though the NBA is stupid, and he'd have to take a picture in a Mavs hat) is the attractive thing here. Once the Mavs drive off the lot with the new car, I don't think it's worth as much weeks later.
