Following Potential 2020 draftees

Yeah they would. They like Conley, and they want a big expiring to clear cap for 2021.

The Lakers just got a very good PG for cheap.... The Mavs, like everyone else out west, are chasing the Lakers. Them paying way more for Mike Conley than the Lakers did for Schroder doesnt gain them any footing...
 
Why in the world would a team with Luka Doncic on his rookie deal trade for a massive contract older PG???

I dont think that makes much sense at all.. I dont follow the logic..

Powell ruptured his achilles. He's still rehabbing and is a dead-weight contract this year.
Mavs want to get rid of Delon Wright's contract, since he's not a good enough shooter.
Mavs like Conley as a skilled guard who can play on and off the ball next to Luka.
The Mavs also want to position themselves to chase Giannis in free agency and want an expiring deal like Conley's.
Jazz would be doing them a favor and might more likely be the party that declines the deal.
Taking those contracts back from the Mavs alone might warrant a FRP.

This is silly... The Mavs made the playoffs last year with an injured Porzingis... Their moves at this draft are gonna be about putting the best squad they can around Luka and Kristaps for a playoff run....... Mike Conley is not that guy... let alone throw in their 1st rd picks to make it happen..

This would be wild... I think I heard the Ringer NBA podcast mention this connection too.

That would be good for us (unless we were also secretly crushing on him). Portland has so often been assumed to be in the market for similar players to the ones we're after, so it might effectively "move us up" one spot.

Great. Let them trade back to #23 with us, so we can move up to #16.
 
I'm warming up to Desmond Bane even if he has unconventional mechanics and t-rex arms.

He is arguably the best shooter in the draft and can help right away. If he can be had at 23 you absolutely draft him.

Haha. I drafted him with the 60th pick in the jazzfanz mock. If true the jazz need to make a call and say hey!!! Give us 16 Scrubb can be had at 23 no problem.
 
I can make an argument why a team might take Scrubb ahead of Elijah Hughes and other guys in the 2nd round. I don't know why you'd need a top 35 pick to get him though. Maybe he sneaks in the 1st round with the 29th or 30th pick, along with guys like Cassius Stanley or Immanuel Quickley.

From everything I’ve read about him and scouting videos I’ve seen, Scrubb will need a **** tone of coaching. And doesn’t have the sharpest basketball IQ in the world. He could end up being one of those uber talented players that doesn’t or will never understand how to maximize it to its fullest potential.
