I was actually told the Mavericks are not really in that race at this point. So to this point, I would scratch Nowell as a target for the Mavericks, at least that was that’s what I was told yesterday.See, and this is where I think the unprotected 27 is about the value of Josh Green and a 5 spot trade down in the draft. As well as Atl paying the 2 SRPs going to OKC for taking on McGee.
Marc Stein: The Mavericks don’t want to be done. Maybe they are done with this roster because further moves are not available to them. They would love if the chance to make another trade run at Clint Capela from the Atlanta Hawks materializes to this point. That opportunity has not availed itself to the Mavericks. But will Atlanta move Capela elsewhere which creates an opportunity for Dallas to try to get in as a third team? Or would they trade him somewhere to a team that really only needs him for contract purposes, salary cap matching purposes in the trade and then that team makes Capela available? Would the Mavs love for that opportunity to be presented? Yes, they would. They did not at the draft. They were not willing to package number 10 and Josh Green to get Clint Capela, they deemed the price too high at that time, but the interest has not gone away.
Also, if they’re done, does that mean the conviction of McGee not being on the team this season was quite overblown?
