I'd like to keep the pick.
If Hendricks, Whitmore, Black, Walker is there, the Mavs need to keep it.
But its too obvious to me that the Mavs would trade it.
And the trade partner could be Detroit.
Yes they have a higher pick, but it doesn't mean they don't want another one.
Pistons were reportedly willing to take in Bertans in exchange for a first rounder. If they are willing to do that, then I would think they be more than happy if Mavs throw-in THJ. Speaking of THJ, I remember Detroit has interest in him from the past. THJ in theory, replaces Bogi's offensive punch should they ship out Bogi and get him instead.
Hayes has improved, but is it enough for the Pistons to retain him when his rookie deal is up? Hayes can't shoot, but he is a good defender that would be an upgrade over Frankie as Hayes has better PG skills. And this trade happens before the Kyrie thing. Hayes gives the Mavs a capable backup PG if Kyrie bolts or at least a third playmaker who can actually defend from 1 to 3.
Bogi is a trade asset for Detroit, nobody expects him to be part of the future. Bogi should be able to appease Luka (and maybe Kyrie) for the time being.
Stewart is being moved to PF after playing C. He is asked to shoot from 3, but his current percentages aren't ideal. On the Mavs, Stewart would be the starting C capable of firing away from 3 if need be. He doesn't need to be an over 35% shooter like what Detroit would want him to be, on the Mavs he just needs to be capable. On the Mavs his role would be to provide the Mavs with some inside presence and physicality. Shooting is just a very good bonus.
Trade would be:
Stewart + Bogi + Hayes + 31
for THJ + McGee + 10.
Mavs can swap the parts with any of Bullock, Bertans and even a SNT Wood (Maybe he would like going back to Detroit? and the Pistons would too? Only time I could see Wood happily working with a SNT).
Question is:
Can the Mavs and the Pistons announce a trade after the Spurs take on VW?
Pistons can combine 5 and 10 to get to 2 and pick Brandon Miller.
IMHo, Miller would be the best fit for Detroit, because right now, a stretch big is what they are lacking, and Miller is that and more.
