We need to draft a white guy here. For sure.

Nico needs to get that diversity quota to a healthy level.

He could have easily received 2 talented young white guys in return in the Luka trade.

Are there and specifiman with destructive hands and high motor with preferably high IQ when the Mavs pick? I don't think a top-tier playmaker is available at this spot. The Mavs is much better off keeping Grimes. I still don't get the Martin trade with the Mavs paying a 1st indeed.

Can Noa Essengue guards random 3/4 better than OMax? Can Max Christie become a core piece?

Is Andrej Stojakovic playable as a 2nd round rookie? The name is funny, though. Kirilanko and Peja?

I don't see anyone noteworthy in the 2nd round. Dallas also has Anjica stashed overseas now.

Just incredible how Nico went from multiple white and Euro players to almost black and 0 Euro players. Coincidence?

AR would have been perfect fit for Mavs, but I guess he has some obvious flaws in Nico's eyes.

I think Ben Saraf is an option due to the Israeli connection, I just don't know if he can be adequate finisher in this league.

Jakucionis is slipping down, after spending the whole year in the Top 7, he is the one I would like.. I see a G. Dragic type player.

Any hopes of Nico drafting or signing a white guy is a pipedream.

If Nico had the first pick he wouldnt even consider taking Flagg.

He signed Klay, right?

Didn't trade Powell and drafted Lively.
There's at least a 50% chance of getting some defense out of those 3 in the mind of Nico.

I appreciate that you are trying so hard to find a motivation to Luka trade but it's just collusion...

Anyone has any idea how Ajinca is doing with his Euro team?

Can anyone help me understand how Houston holds an unprotected 29 Mavs 1st rounder i.e. what came back to Dallas?

This is the pick Mavs seny to the Nets for Kyrie

Rasheer Fleming seems like a solid pick as a PJ Maxi combo.

I want Dumont, Harrison, Kidd, PJ and Dinwiddie out of the state. Thank you.

Did Nets send that pick to Houston for Harden?
Now I'm confused.

Nets sent their picks for Harden before they got the pick, they decided they wanted to tank and bought their picks back from Houston, Mavs pick was part of the payment.
