While some have had mixed feelings about the moves that were made this offseason, everyone should consider this offseason a success. Let’s examine each stage:
Draft night
It caught us all by surprise, if we’re being honest.
Going into that night, it wasn’t clear if Dallas was going to be trading away picks or if the Mavericks might look to trade up in the draft. Ask any of our staff if what the odds were Dallas would keep both picks and uniformly we would have said there was very little chance.
The fact that Dallas not only kept 18 and 31, but also traded for 36 to ultimately select Tyler Bey is still shocking.
