The Ringer has its team needs piece out related to the draft. Despite the fact Dallas doesn't have a pick, they name some guys who project to be taken in the area of 10 New Orleans/11 Charlotte or toward the end of the teens where Washington and OKC would be possible trade partners. KOC is not on KP Island, so it is likely he's envisioning a KP trade to get a pick in this region:
THE MAVS DON’T HAVE ANY DRAFT PICKS this year; their first is owed to the Knicks for the Kristaps Porzingis trade. Now the biggest question in Dallas is: Will there be another Porzingis trade? The 7-footer has failed to establish any real chemistry with franchise centerpiece Luka Doncic, and his performance in the team’s first-round loss to the Clippers may have been the last straw. With Jason Kidd taking over for Rick Carlisle on the bench, it might be time to rip the Band-Aid off. The problem is finding a potential Porzingis suitor. Is anyone interested in trading for such an expensive player who just showed he can’t be the second-best player on a contender?
Dallas desperately needs to find the right big man to pair with Doncic, and Mark Cuban usually isn’t one to dawdle. Then comes the decision of whether or not to re-sign Tim Hardaway Jr. Surrounding Luka with 3-and-D wings makes a lot of sense, and Hardaway Jr. showed up big in the playoffs. They could look to develop a similar prospect—and trade into the draft—if they want to buy some insurance entering free agency.
