We are talking about the team that would be nothing without Dirk and Luka, but still thinks the draft is an annoyance. Highly unlikely the Mavs buy an additional pick.
I do agree that teams could look to shed pay-roll, therefore make players more accessable via trade or in restricted free agency. THEN replace them with the cheaper rookies.
You are the Pistons or Cavs why you care whether Blake or Love are there next season. You are not selling tickets.
