Last week\u2019s survey centered around the upcoming NBA Draft, which takes place over two days this week, Tuesday and Wednesday. Dallas picks 9th in the draft, a maddening position considering how bad the team was this year.<\/p>\n
The first question was a simple yes\/no question about your concern level about the availability of players in the draft for the Mavericks when they select in the first round.<\/p>\n
A slight majority says yes, they are concerned. That\u2019s the group I fall in, but if you\u2019re hopeful and like the quality of players available in the range Dallas picks in, I get it. There\u2019s a lot of interesting players, so maybe I need to relax.<\/p>\n
The second question asked if you want the Mavericks to try to trade up.<\/p>\n
A slight majority said no to this question which tracks with the first question. If you believe in Dallas and the players in the range, there\u2019s no need to trade up. Hint, I want them to trade up but know they don\u2019t have the assets to do so.<\/p>\n
The third question asked whether you wanted Dallas to trade down (and, theoretically, acquire more assets).<\/p>\n
Only two in five fans want Dallas to trade down. The majority of fans seem to want Dallas to stay put and draft whoever is there. Man I get it but this is the last time Dallas has a lottery pick they control maybe for the decade. If you want to place a bet on who the Mavericks might draft, or anyone else in the NBA, you can do so via our partners at FanDuel<\/a>. It\u2019s fun, I recommend it.<\/p>\n The national poll asked questions about the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n 2 out of 3 fans enjoyed the Knicks title fun; count me as one of them. But begrudgingly.<\/p>\n This question is stupid and heavily influenced by Knicks fans. Brunson shouldn\u2019t have beeb allowed to walk, but trading Luka is worse. Come on now.<\/p>\n Most fans think the Thunder come back with a fury and I have to agree.<\/p>\n Look forward to another poll later this week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last week\u2019s survey centered around the upcoming NBA Draft, which takes place over two days this week, Tuesday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":346083,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,83929],"class_list":["post-346082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-mavericks-draft"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346082\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
