Mavericks confirm that one of their recent draft picks was a mistake, as they are looking to dump him.
The 2023 NBA Draft will go down as one of the most memorable draft nights for Dallas Mavericks fans in recent history as the team landed Dereck Lively II with the 12th overall pick, who would ultimately prove to be a difference-maker in their run to the NBA Finals that season. In addition to Lively II, the Mavericks would get involved in a draft night trade with the Sacramento Kings, where they would land Richaun Holmes and the 24th overall pick in that same draft.
