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

I am going to be honest, trades are nice and everything, but in the grand scheme of things it won't matter much when we judge this draft day in 3 years.

It will all comes down to how good Lively is, period.

This is a deep draft and be assured there will an All- Stars that were available at 10 or after, that will even puts pressure on our selection more.

Lively turns into next TC, and this draft is A+ regardless of how successful Holmes and OMax are.
Lively turns into the next Thabeet or Bamba, and it will be an F, unless OMax became next J.Butler or something.

The Mavs seems to have done their homework and they are looking for athletic guys with upside, good on defense and high character guys.
On the flip side, feels they drafted based on need (which is always a mistake) and both guys have question marks on the offensive end.
Mike Miles seems like a potential steal as UDFA tbh, loves the guy


PS: I am surprised we actually wanted Lively, it seems every mock draft had us picking him and trading him, not keeping him. lol
