DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[Aussiebballer]

Hi All
Question about the 31st pick
If the Mavs take a guy they love and want to sign him to a a 3-4yr deal I believe they need to use part of the MLE to sign a deal longer then 2 yrs.
Which will cause issues if you are competing for a MLE player and you can only offer them $8mil instead of $9mil.

Would the Mavs be better off trading up to 26th with Boston? 
Can't see Boston keeping 3 rookies.

Dallas get a player that won't affect the MLE and they control his contract anyway, can keep him for 2, 3 or 4 yrs.
26th pick makes $1.7mil in 2021 so doesn't really affect the 2021 cap-space.


I actually like the depth in this draft and would be happy for the Mavs to buy some more picks.
Even if they grab players like Bolmaro or Maledon and leave them in Europe for a year or 2.

Use 18 on Green or Bane
Trade\buy 26 or 30 from Boston
Draft Bolmaro and T Bey

Would also be happy to buy some 2nd round pick to take a flyer on some players.
Reed, Azubuike, Cassius Stanley, Killian Tillie, Quickley
Could use these guys as 2-way players.

I think now is a great time to invest in the draft to get young players on cheap contracts that can  become quality role-players or trade assets.
