The Dallas Mavericks and their fanbase are still celebrating a successful draft night. Before the NBA draft, several rumors were connecting the Dallas Mavericks and the Atlanta Hawks. The foundation of a deal between the two teams included the Mavericks trading the 10th pick to the Hawks and the Hawks trading the 15th pick to the Mavericks.
Tim MacMahon, on a recent episode of The Hoop Collective went on to confirm the following on trade talks that went on between Dallas and Atlanta.
Dallas got two first-round picks and were able to still come out on top this year as far as the salary shifting enough so to where they went from being a taxpayer mid-level team to a full mid-level team, which is a massive difference in being able to add another rotation player, potentially even a starter.
