Final 2023 NBA Mock Draft: Pistons, Hornets swing for fences on upside
2023 NBA Mock Draft
Gradey Dick will probably be a very nice player in the NBA, but if the Mavericks tanked away a chance at the playoffs just to end up with a “nice player,” their fans might revolt.
Dallas is probably the team that is most likely to trade their pick, as there is no one available here that is going to help their chances to win a title next season and they are desperate to put a better roster around Luka Doncic.
But how exactly are they going to do it? Teams aren’t going to give them a king’s ransom in terms of draft assets or players for this pick, as many teams believe you can get a similar talent much later in the draft.
This trade with the Pistons might be around what they will get, which would not be inspiring for their chances of making a big leap next season.
