Zhaire is more a SG, but he's definitely showing his athleticism. Clippers hold some good ammo for about where he'd go, too. This whole lotto can produce some really good picks.

One of my fav players in the draft. Would love to pick up a second pick and take a flyer on him.

We already have 2 2nd round picks. With those numbers though I doubt he makes it that far.

Edit: misread your post. Not sure what we would have to give up to move back into the 1st.

JJB + 33

for

Bayless + 10
?

Sixers shed little under $5 million going from Bayless to JJB, and I believe a little over $2 million going from 33 to 10. They gain $7 million in their pursuit of Lebron, upgrade at point, and still get a decent young guy. JJB gets to finish his contract on a contender.

Probably contingent on who’s their at #10 and how the Sixers feel about their chance to draw Lebron. He was definitely in the city looking at schools for his kids this past season, and is a savvy enough person to make these decisions ahead of time. Wouldn’t be surprised if he puts on a dog-and-pony show, but my guess is he already knows.

I had a dream...I met someone who thought JJB would get us the 10th pick...a most amazing man...

What can I say? I'm an optimist.

This three-way trade is the closest you'll get to making that work...

@LockedOnMavs: A trade we discussed on the latest pod:

- Mavs get 9th pick, Hardaway Jr., Bayless

- Knicks get 10th pick, W. Matthews, J.Anderson

- Philly get Mavs 2019 top-10 protected pick

Mavs - Get another top-10 pick but costs long-term money in Hardaway Jr. (3 years, $53 million) Bayless 8.5 cuts into cap this summer. Also lose future 1st.

Knicks- Trade out Hardaway Jr. for Matthews. Opens up massive cap space for 2019. Still get 10th pick.

Philly- sheds 10 million in cap for this summer but still gets 2019 first (top-10 protected) from Mavs. Basically pushes back pick a year while opening up 10 mill in cap this year.

The only way Philly does that is if they have a chance at Lebron or another star.

Yeah, that would be the idea.

I would hate this trade. You are probably getting just marginal better with the pick (giving up a ´19 in the 11-20 range, probably) and worst, kill your entire 2019 free agency for...Tim Hardaways sucking contract.

No thanks. The Mavs should not give up their 2019 cap space so easy.
