Nets starting to look a little better than at the beginning of the season, and there are some pretty weak teams (Lakers and 76ers) that look for poised for the top spots. Poeltl obviously doesn't have the upside as say Simmons or Skal, but he fits a HUGE position of need and looks like a really good consolation prize. If you were guaranteed Poeltl right now for the nets pick, would you take it?
hell no. Nets pick is going to be top 5. Poeltl would be interesting with the Mavs pick (8-10) or C's pick (10-12)
Mavs pick won't be anywhere near 8-10. Right now it's at 23, and they are 9-7. You're delusional if you think he would be "interesting" with the mavs pick.
They've also lost 3 in a row and have more talented teams (LAC, Rockets, Pelicans, etc.) behind them in the standings. Things could change quickly for them.
I agree.
There is absolutely no way, the Rockets are going to stay 5-10. I mean, they are just way too good of a team. So there are definitely going to be competition for the Mavericks.
Pelicans also have room for progression, considering they have AD, even with battling so many injuries.
