I'm assuming if they move down they would have accounted for that. I am not going to question this brain trust. Not now, not forever. For a change the Mavs have hired one of the best front office teams. It doesn't mean they won't make mistakes. Masai himself had to move on from the Raptors, but there's nothing an ownership can do than hire one of the best.
Also, as I said, I personally am scared to lose a higher floor guy as the draft is nearing. I would not move down either and have changed my opinion of going after a riskier, higher ceiling guy. While every player in our draft vicinity has warts, they still have less question marks than ones in the next tier. I don't want to take that chance, but that's why I said I don't envy Masai and Schmidt at all.
