I think if the Mavs do move the pick, they will try names they have been attached to previously. Myles Turner. I am just not sure Indy will move him for a lottery pick. They have three first round picks this year (one of them in front of Dallas). They may very well view themselves as a young playoff team next year with a good offseason. I think Ayton will be a target. The tricky part is trying to find a fit for PHX. They are looking to win a championship next year. They are a front office who cares less about the draft than Dallas...but they have a new owner now. So it is tricky to find a match. Also, add a 20% Mavs bad negotiating tip for any trades we propose. I think John Collins would be another one. I think he would be preferred over Capella, but that is just my opinion. Is it enough for ATL to move up to 10 from 15 and get salary relief? The issue is it is not immediate salary relief. I think those are the top 3 names. I think Dallas has a competitive offer (not sure if it is the smartest move though), but finding a fit is difficult.
