My god, if our plan for the draft is to misguidedly trade for a future pick just to keep superstar chasing, then we sure as hell aren't doing anything different. Hope that isn't really being considered.

I was thinking about the worst-case scenarios for this offseason....

1A.. Mavs let Brunson go for nothing (doubtful)

1B. Mavs sign and trade Brunson (possible)

2A. Mavs trade first round pick for future draft considerations (no idea if this is possible)

2B. Mavs trade first round pick for two second round picks. Pick a couple of international "not ready for prime time players" and stash them overseas (terrible idea; not sure how probable).

Some combination of 1(A or B) and 2 (A or B). Cuban saves money and is a happy camper because Dwight Powell is still a Mav.

Sorry to grumble.....
