Default 27th pick, i guess not

[QUOTE]Maybe I am taking this out of context, maybe not. But according to Newy Scruggs, the Mavs had a chance to get the Spurs 27th pick for 3 Million dollars.

"For $3 million of Mark Cuban’s money, he could have bought the pick from the Spurs and made Arthur a Maverick.

Nope, no deal. The Mavs just waited for their turn at 51 in the second round and drafted a kid who looks like the singer Usher. Shan Foster was the SEC Player of the Year at Vanderbilt. He can play some guard and forward and shoot it well from long range."

Though they make the arguement for Arthur, I still think that moving up to get CDR would have been better. When reports came out that teams were asking for "crazy money", I was thinking in the 5-8 million dollar range./QUOTE]
