Mavs trade deadline and draft thread

[sig]

Pacers are starting to look really good and have a lot of depth at PF now. I doubt they challenge Celts or Bucks but have a such good young core with Mathurin and Walker. Jarace Walker is now hitting the rotation and Haliburton is amazing. They lost Bruce Brown so maybe Josh Green would have some appeal. Jalen smith is a big help for size at the PF position and the Mavs are top heavy with wings. Smith is only 8 months older than Green. If Green grew to 6'9", he might be Jalen smith.

I may make Indy my second team. I was cheering for Sac last year, but they've peaked with their current roster.

I grew up in Indiana (not in Indy) during their ABA days rooting for them. Lots of games on the radio. Every now and then a TV game. They will always be my 2nd team. The Reggie teams in the 90's really filled the void from those Mav teams from that decade. McGinnis is one of my all time favorite players. Watched some of his HS games on TV then he played for IU then Pacers.

If I'm not mistaken, Rick was against selecting Green in the draft and that was one of the r
easons he left.
Things may have changed since then, but as I recollect Rick wasn't happy that his input was completely ignored.
