Trading down is my nightmare scenario. Or worse trading the pick entirely for a player.

Adding another top 10 pick is my dream.

Tighten your dream up to top 5, because we won't trade down.

I remember when we had the 6th pick and traded it for the 9th and 19th.

Worked out pretty well for us.

9 got us Dirk and 19 got us Nash.

Huh? Nash was drafted by Phoenix in '96 at number 15.

Nevermind, I see that you referring to the trade.

I think we traded our unprotected 1999 1st round pick along with the 1998 19th pick for Nash. That pick turned out to be the 9th pick.....Shawn Marion.

"What the people got, unexpectedly, was Nash, who fills the Mavericks' mammoth void at point guard. Nelson was unable to pry the Canadian from Phoenix at midseason - instead taking Cedric Ceballos for Dennis Scott - but nabbed Nash this time by packaging the first-round pick in 1999 with Garrity, Bubba Wells and Martin Muursepp.
The Suns refused to make the trade unless the pick was left unprotected. That means the Mavericks must surrender it no matter how high in next June's lottery it falls."

Wonder if Donnie can pull off something similar yielding Bamba and Jalen Brown?
DSJ/Brown/Barnes/Dirk/Bamba would be a fun team to watch this season.

A very human look at MPJ...

To my previous points about MPJ, his athleticism and ball handling are tremendously over rated. He OFTEN times settles for mediocre shots. Can he shoot? yes. But coming out of college his game is far away from his most common comp KD. Not saying I wouldn't be good with us picking him if he is healthy, but his game is far from solidified.

I think that passing is something that can be taught. It's good that he has an alpha dog mentality. I think Carlisle can do wonders with this kid. I'd be happy with this pick. Don't know if the Mavs got balls to pick him though.

He would be fun to watch with DSJ. So hard to evaluate but you can see the tools. I can absolutely see the athleticism. Hard to remember how big the kid is and how awkward they can be as teenagers.

It would be pick #5 (Bamba) for Jaylen Brown -- you're not getting both... Boston isn't just trying to dump the guy, they're looking to move up in the draft to acquire Bamba.

Yeah no Jaylen, but we could nab Porter and Bridges or something similar if we traded assets future picks to get into the first round again.

I was about to ask how you don't top 10 protect that...
