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

[Luka77]

Seen a few mocks where Walker makes it to 10. I'll be a little pissed if they were to pass on him at 10, though I doubt they would as that would mean players were taken higher than expected.

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…

Trading 10 for Bojan would be a disaster.  If the Mavs are thinking on those lines they would be better off just taking Gradey Dick.  

His game resembles Bojan's and his age would allow him to grow with Luka.

Givony and Woo saying the Mavs would look at that type of trade let's me know they have no idea what they are talking about in regards to the Mavs thinking.
