Mavs save $ and get Lively at 16 and a wing at 28
Then use the MLE on a Mcdaniels type guy
I like Olynyk, but he just doesn't fit with Mavs need, as his defense is really bad. So, I am not sure what Mavs accomplish here. They give their best asset for a hope of two scores on picks that will most likely not be able to become a serious contributor in year 1, a very similar player to Bertans regarding the value to their team, and a little bit of savings. But not enough of savings to make a difference. If this kind of deal is best Mavs could do, I would prefer the BKN version with Bertans for O'Neale, salary filler and their two late picks (21 and 22). I think O'Neale is a much better fit for what Mavs need, while they would still be able to draft two guys.
