Good pick. Bad asset management. Mavs giving up 24+28 2nd. Lakers getting a pick in the same range (#35) for cash + 24 2nd. Followed by a trade deadline where most big moves involved 3-5 2nd round picks.
Baby steps. Mavs apparently learned their lesson when it comes to first round picks. Next step are 2nd round picks, undrafted guys, summer/g-league rosters.
