This feels 100% legit. And nothing may happen, but this still may be VERY real, it just means the guy the Mavs love didn't slide to a spot they could get to.
I agree that they're not advertising anything.
But, the info listed SEVERAL possible avenues of improvement, and what we can probably guess, if we're honest, is that even if ANY of them are possible, they're certainly not ALL possible in combination, given the resources on hand. We don't know which is plan A, B, C, etc. We'll probably never know.
My guess is that the Hayward thing is MOST real, and your take is that trading deep into the lottery is most real. I'd say it's possible that our preferences are coloring the logic just a bit, lol.
Just happy that we're talking about big swings. That part is welcome news.
I'll say this, Kamm: I have a feeling you won't need to get as high as #6 to get Hayes. I haven't noticed anyone besides O'Conner list him among the very best (not saying he shouldn't be).
