I like where your mind is headed and I subscribe to the Mavs getting the 2nd pick.
FYI if Kyrie signs a 3 year max deal it'll be closer to 3/150 not 3/120.
Lakers could offer a 3/100. HOU can give him 3/120.
Anyways I'd love for the Mavs to get Walker Kessler. If they could trade down from a hypothetical 2nd pick and nab him I think it'd be worth it. Also have to wonder what other centers could be had for a hypothetical trade for the 2nd pick.
If the Raptors could've gotten 3 1sts for OG they would've. In this deal they're essentially getting one FRP plus Hardy, a guy who looks like he should've been a lotto pick.
Honestly, I think the league's pendulum is swinging back away from giving away multiple firsts for non-superstars after the Gobert debacle. I like OG, but as good as his defense is, his offense is pretty average. He's not a star. In fact, it wouldn't shock me if in five years that Hardy is the best player in the deal.
