The Dallas Mavericks moved into the 2020 NBA Draft thanks to a trade with the Sacramento Kings. Dallas is acquiring the draft rights to Jaden Hardy, the No. 37 overall pick, from Sacramento. The Kings will receive the Mavericks’ 2024 and 2028 second-round picks.
Dallas did not have any picks in the draft thanks to trades that GM Nico Harrison made this season. He said before the draft that he and the Mavericks would be opportunistic if a situation arose that they couldn’t pass up. Hardy, who played for NBA G League Ignite last season, fit the criteria.
