Seems like the modern era of Mavs moves involves identifying and going after distressed assets. From Kyrie and Jaden last year to Luka and Jalen back whenever that was, most moves seem to fit that profile in some sort of way. This thinking also seems to fit Cuban’s MO of trying to zag when everybody else is zigging.
All of which is to say, I’m not expecting the team to suddenly start valuing the draft like the rest of the league. And it’s easy to believe they would go after a guy like Ayton. Thus the intriguing thing about Dan’s contributions here, to me, is the notion that it might take half of the #10 pick instead of the whole to land him.

Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
