If that is true, I might be pissed off at Mavs, as #18 and #31 would be competitive at least. We could do Lee SnT, since Houston obviously doesn't care about incoming player, as long as he is expiring.
And Houston would still prefer to trade him to Portland rather than a Texas rival.
PS: I hate that they will pick ahead of us
A lot better than Portland looking for the same player as us.

I can see the rimprotection. (hard not to)
But otherwise I see (slightly better?) Noel highlight defense without the hotdog. Didn´t find the communication I wanna see if I hear defensive anchor.
He seems to thrive in chaos though.
Still seems not worth that to me.
