Mavs get a short handed and tired Pelicans team tonight. Although looking at their roster, there is still plenty of talent there. We have discussed how New Orleans have made smart move after smart move over the past year and a half. Some is due to draft picks but they have also shown you don't need high first round picks to find talent.
Herb Jones for example. But also Jose Alvarado was an undrafted guy. In addition a guy like Naji Marshall who scored 23 last night and averaging 12 and 5 the last 10 games. He was undrafted in 2020.
I feel we spend a time talking about putting all our remaining assets for a second star to Luka. Teams like Memphis and New Orleans show you should never stop trying to find pieces on the edges. Several of the guys we discuss via trade where either late first round picks or second round picks in the past.
