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

In general, I could see trade down value with most of teams after Mavs, if they really like a player they could get at 10. We covered Toronto.

#14 Pelicans: Herb Jones or Naji Marshall. Pels have team option on both of them, but Marshall becomes UFA next season if they take it. Not sure how good defender he is. Not sure if Kira Lewis is still in their plans and Temple salary could also be used as a filler to get to Bullock salary.

#15 Atlanta: A deal for Capela. Many possibilities here, but something could be done. Seems like a very natural target for Mavs and Atlanta likely wants to shed his salary. A bit more problematic is how Mavs could help with that goal.

#16 Utah: A bit more difficult as I am not in love with any of their players based on what Mavs need. Pure #10 for #16 and #28, with perhaps minor assets added from Utah.

#17 Lakers: I don't see it very realistic. I would love Vanderbilt and Bamba (needed to create a salary match unless third team is involved). Bullock and #10 would not be a bad outcome for Lakers, if they really like guy at #10. Although, if they really like a guy, we should probably just draft him. They are good at that

#18 Miami: I don't see anything realistic here

#19 GSW: depends a lot on their plans with Green or Kuminga. #10 for Green or Kuminga and #19 seems like a decent start of a deal. Although, their decision about Kuminga might come later in the summer

#20 Rockets: Tate, Garuba for Bullock and #10. Not splashy, but Tate would fit what Mavs need. Throw in minor assets if you feel the offer is light.

#21 and #22 BKN: O'Neale

#23 Portland: I don't see anything unless Portland blows it up and they would help us with Grant SnT (can't be done on draft day anyway)

#26 and #29 Indiana: are they trading Turner?

Kings, Memphis, Clippers and Charlotte at late FRP I don't see anything really interesting.
