Donnie and RC seemed like anti-draft guys unless you had a high end pick in the lotto range. Cuban seems to want to regurgitate the I don't like draft picks from that regime.
With all the disappointment this year over the team, Kidd, and Nico they seemed to have handled their first draft OK landing Hardy. Sounds like they were going to take him with first round pick but jumped back in when he was still available 10 picks later. While more still needs to be proven maybe this group can actually evaluate and get some productive young guys then develop them to inject needed youth and energy into the team.
Pistons have a lot young guys and if they land Vic I would certainly expect they might entertain trading Stewart with Bagley, Duren and wiseman on the team. They could still land one of the forward from the Walker/Whitmore/Hendrick/Miller trio and would still have pick 31 to use on another big. Wonder if the Mavs could deal the 27 FRP for stewart even if they keep the 23 pick.
