2023 DRAFT: Mavs take Lively, OMP, sign Mike Miles to 2-way, sign Jordan Walker

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

I’ve got a target fellas.

In this universe, Atlanta has someone they really want at 10 and they make the decision to promote Okongwu and move Capela. We get 15.

I don’t do this trade of one of Walker, Whitmore, Hendricks is on the board.

I'm guessing this is what you have in mind.
THJ+10 for Capela+15 (Schifino).

Seems to me like this favors the Mavs a bit, but if the Hawks are really into a player they like, I'm not going to say this is improbable. It would have been very handy if the Mavs have second round picks to add to even things up.

But anyway, IMHo a Schifino pick at 10 or a trade down tells something about Kyrie's tenure with the Mavs. The Mavs could, of course, have a sign-and-trade that nets them a decent PG in exchange for Kyrie, but whether or not that's the case, the Mavs could use playmaker to develop rather than pick up from the likes of Beverly, Joseph, Dragic, etc for their back-up/third string PGs.

Note: I like Whitmore the most for all the realistic choices at 10, but I'm okay wth a Schifino pick at 10 too.
