Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

That's true, but that was always true wasn't it? The Burries pick was always the obvious pick to fix the spacing for next year's lineup.

The Front Office clearly was mapping out a long-term strategy. Their acquisitions now continue to surprise us probably because we don't see the same picture they do.

It might not necessarily mean that. They might have just gone with the best forward because none of the guards blew them away even though they knew they needed a guard.  Maybe it was a small thing such as Burries wingspan that caused them to not draft him. Who knows? 

Or maybe they really feel Morez can be special. 

Time will tell. 

One thing though. I can’t see Morez being a bust. He has very nice touch and movement around the rim and on defense he can absolutely switch on anyone. Even if Burries becomes a star, I would be very surprised if Rez doesn’t develop into a really solid piece himself that a lot of teams even in the future woukd love to pry away away from the Mavs.
