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

[Nowitzki Way]

Some notes:

The mid to late lottery looks as weak as it has in years.  2024 class look bad.

He called Lively a “Playoff Five”.  He can rim run, Protect the rim and defend the perimeter.  In other words, he won’t get played off the court in the playoffs.  No O to speak of at all, but D is better than Mark Williams taken a year ago in the late lottery.

That would put Lively in play for the Mavs.  We don't need the O at all, especially if we have Kyrie.  

And i'm willing to bet he offers more on the offensive end that Powell. So still an upgrade on both ends.
