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

[Chicagojk]

New ESPN mock just dropped from Givony and Woo. Mavs related items to note:

Had Lively at 10 (Hendricks went 9) mentioned the obvious that the pick is available. Said that Lively also has interest at 11, 12, and 15 so trade down scenarios for him looking less and less likely. Had Cason Wallace (my personal fave) going 15 but mentioned his draft range starts with Washington at 8 but also mentioned Utah and Dallas specifically.

Also of note, in Detroit’s write up at the end mentioned the possibility of of #31 and Bojan for THJ and #10…

Thanks for posting.  I would hate that trade with Detroit.  Trading #10 for a 34 year old would be disastrous.    Bojan is really good.    But at his age with one year left until free agency, it just seems reckless.  If the Mavs were able to find a center and PF, I may consider a 27 first and Hardaway for Bojan.  But the age is just hard to overlook.   I also don't think the Pistons would move him for that package either as they are looking to win more games sooner than later.
