This is a vescey column, so take it with a grain of salt. Of course the Mavs would be interested in Diop, much more so than they would Mihm. Diop is a big, strong shotblocker with a huge upside. The organization has been in his life since he was discovered by Maverick super-scout Amadou fall as a young teenager in Senegal. He visited Reunion at least once while still in high school. You can bet that if the man was really being shopped by the Cavs, the Mavericks would be burning up the phone lines to get him.
