Except the Mavs possibly got the best 3 point shooter in the trade and 3 point shooting is the name of today's NBA game. The Mavs didn't trade anyone who couldn't easily be replaced. A 2nd round pick? Look at the two latest Mavs 2nd round picks. Are they playing? 2nd round picks are the coin of the realm in trades unless you get lucky as with Brunson. The Mavs do better with UDFAs than they do with 2nd round picks.
Teams are parlaying those 2nd round picks as part of trade assets. Those are valued. So I would not just measure the value of those picks based on draft history. That is my only gripe. Again, absolutely no issues with the players themselves that we acquired.
