When it comes to lottery picks, teams all over the NBA are generally ready to jump the gun to buy. First round draft picks are valuable for every team, whether they are making the picks or trading them for more useful pieces.
The Dallas Mavericks are no different as they have used their draft picks in a number of different ways in the past. Most of those ways have included a variety of trades that have either panned out or not so much. We have also been active on draft day with trades happening often.
When the Mavericks came into this season, most people did not see the first round pick as a huge source of excitement.
