I can't believe we got the guy I wanted.
I talked myself into Mo Bamba, and I think he will be at least halfway decent in the pros. But landing at 5 put us out of the race for Luka imo, and I'm willing to ship next year's first rounder for a guy the front office wants to build around.
Still should have been Giannis, but that horse left the barn years ago

We just got Jalen Brunson.
Did we?
Guess that means Yogi Ferrell ain't coming back. No way they keep JJ, Ferrell, and Curry plus DSJWe just got Jalen Brunson.
Rick just said Yogi is coming back.
I guess he is replacing the Devin Harris role.
Great back up for DSJ as well.
Six big winners from the NBA draft's first round
Six big winners from the NBA draft's first round
Dallas Mavericks
Traded the draft rights to guard Trae Young and a protected 2019 first-round pick for the draft rights to guard Luka Doncic.
Mike Schmitz: The Mavericks are the clear winner of the night, wheeling and dealing for arguably the top prospect in the draft in Doncic.
As we outlined earlier in the year, Doncic is a perfect fit for Rick Carlisle's flow offense, a system that emphasizes multiple ball handlers. Dennis Smith Jr.'s ability to break down defenses should help counterbalance Doncic's lack of clear blow-by ability with the ball. Doncic brings a combination of youth and productivity, and his winning tenure at Real Madrid has shown he's a perfect fit for the pass-dribble-shoot basketball in the modern NBA.
Having veterans such as Dirk Nowitzki, JJ Barea and Wesley Mathews should go a long way to usher Doncic in as the next international star in Dallas.

Whatever suit the NBA sent up to announce names got the Hawks and Mavs picks mixed up back to back.
What happened with Giannis?

Donnie Nelson and the front office wanted to take him. Mark was still on the fukk tanking wave and forced them to draft Kelly Olynik and he was traded to Boston for future draft picks. Kelly was taken 13th, Giannis went 15th.
