Dallas Mavericks fans will remember draft night 2018 for a long time. They traded up to acquire star Luka Doncic. Then, the Mavs selected Jalen Brunson early in round two. Those are two members of the organization for the next decade plus. The Mavericks also drafted Ray Spalding and Kostas Antetokounmpo in the second round.
The blockbuster seven-player trade that saw the Mavs acquire Kristaps Porzingis from the Knicks forced Dallas into needing a roster spot. They decided to waive rookie Ray Spalding who was a member of their 15-man roster, but only played one total minute of NBA action.
