Cato had a draft article today and he is clearly still learning about the prospects but here was his ending.
Dallas’ dream trade-down scenario, to me, would be exchanging the No. 10 selection for a spot in the late teens to select Lively or the early 20s for Hood-Schifino or Hawkins. If they could do that while receiving some sort of defense-first veteran who could immediately receive rotation minutes, that’s a clear win. But it would take a willing team, and perhaps the right prospect falling, for that to happen.
Let me add besides saying the mavs won’t draft Dick, the rest is not based on any intel. Reads as someone who recently started listening to draft podcasts. Not the worst thing but not much meat imo.
