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

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

To be completely serious, JHS was a guy that was being mocked around 18 who I thought was completely undervalued. 

I'm good with either JHS or Wallace if --- the Mavs know the chance of not retaining Kyrie is high. 

Sure the Mavs can get a PG in a deal for Kyrie, but I'm thinking, the Mavs would be better with another PG waiting in line. Chances are -- DLo or whoever the Mavs get, would leave the Mavs wanting at PG.

I wouldn't even be surprised if the veteran PG the Mavs can get in a deal would be surpassed by JHS or Wallace near season's end.

In my opinion, if Walker or Hendricks make it to 10, you pick them. They are both players who fill a position of need who are ready to contribute right away. 

Normally I'd say rookies would take time to contribute, but the combination of talent, team need and the low bar set by DP, either Hendricks or Walker should be rotation players by All Star break.

I’m looking for is a favorable trade back that keeps us in this draft. Some (definitely not all) of the players who I would be interested in are Lively, Leonard Miller and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Lively and Leonard are the names I have in trade down scenarios (along with JHS) in the first round.
Prosper is a good pick for the second round.
