Because of the Mavericks’ tanking efforts that resulted in Dallas finishing the 2022-23 regular season with the 10th-worst record, the New York Knicks are without a pick in the draft. The Knicks had a low percentage to get either the No. 11 or No. 12 pick, but the results of the draft lottery fell in the Mavericks’ favor.
If New York would’ve been awarded a first-round pick, it could’ve been included in a trade. The Knicks had the No. 11 pick in last year’s draft but winded up trading the selection away in what was a wild draft night.
