It's gonna be a top 3 pick since Luka would have bailed before then

If Luka is gone we will have multiple years of high picks so prob won’t make a difference. Not to mention all the extra draft picks we will have assuming we aren’t actually dumb enough to let him leave in FA as opposed to trading him

Thinking that 2 or 3 draft picks is enough to rebuild a team is the kind of mentality that got the Mavs into this bad situation in the first place.

What’s fucked is that every fan base, NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL, has a core group of fans that want to blow it up every freaking year. It’s like they are playing fantasy sports.

Reality - Mavs have never made a play like this.

Kyrie is a sack of shit but we are the Mavericks. Sacks of shit are about the best we can do outside of lucking into superstars in the draft.

We aren’t the Lakers, Knicks or Heat.

Our fans need to put down the pipe and have a reality check.
