Brian Windhorst implied that the Mavs will go top 4 in the draft lottery in his mock lottery Missing the playoffs and making it to the draft lottery starting to look like a grand madman's plot all along

Windhorst The LA Clippers have quietly been visiting draft prospects expected to be taken in the late lottery range in the last few days This could signal a trade of Leonard to Miami No 13 or Golden State No 11 and LA trading No 5 to Milwaukee for Jaylen Brown

ALLCITY Marc Stein We know the Bucks really want an additional lottery pick If they do the deal w Miami theyll have 13 BOS only has 27 When you talk to people around the league the Bucks have been operating as though theyre going to have at least 2 lottery picks this draft

Mallory Edens reacts to Bucks getting the 10th pick in the lottery

DLLS Mavs Marc Stein If Milwaukee ends up doing the Giannis to Miami deal Tyler Herro obviously has to be in it If they can either make it a 3-team trade or turn Tyler Herro into a draft asset or two from Detroit that makes the overall package you get from Miami more attractive

PatMcAfeeShow Masai Ujiri has full authority to do whatever he wants with the direction of this Mavericks teamMavs sources believe that Jason Kidd had a level of support for the Luka Doncic trade This is a complete restart for the entire organization

Bill Simmons I heard this too during the weekend Could the Clippers with the 5th pick move in to the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade and be the 3rd team And then the second piece of this Would they then send Kawhi to Miami as a consolation prize for additional assets
