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

[Mavs2021]

[Jake Fischer] “…Dallas could send the No. 10 pick to Atlanta for that No. 15 selection depending on which players are available. The Mavericks, though, could defy expectations and stay at No. 10 if Villanova product Cam Whitmore or UCF forward Taylor Hendricks slips to that selection.”

Breaking news. Mavs could keep or trade pick. If they don´t trade the pick, they liked the player more than the trade offers. If they trade  the pick they liked the trade offer more than the available players. They might or might not have gotten their top target after the trade down. There is also a small chance they trade the pick for a future pick.

I have it on very good authority, insider information that one of these things will happen 100%.
