Dario Saric to Mavs?

@Eurohopes: According to sources Dallas Mavericks (#13) are as high on Dario Saric as any team in NBA. GM Donnie Nelson was in Croatia last week.

Sound like the mavs might keep their pick, does that mean they won't go after DH12 or not? What do you think.

I never thought they had a real shot at Howard anyway.

I think there's a better chance they'd package the 13th pick and Marion to free up cap space to go after a big name.

Saric still has to make it to #13 and I can see some teams taking him before then

If they keep the pick, and if Saric is there, then there is a high probability of them taking him...

But both of those things are doubtful.

If Dallas are wanting to sell the pick to free up cap space and two or more teams are interested in buying the 13th pick,
what happens?

Is it a bidding war?

Saric won't fall to 13.

If he's there, they could convince him to go back to Europe next year thus allowing them to pursue Dwight Howard. If they miss out on Howard, they sign him and bring him to the states this year. Best of both worlds for them. Saric could easily be there at 13. He's a hot name on this board but people are all over the map on him. Could go 5th or 20th and it wouldn't surprise me.

They're trying to use 13 to get someone to take back Marion's salary. Saric staying in Europe doesn't give them the space to sign Howard.

The max allowable as far as cash compensation is $3 million. However, a team can take on one or more of Dallas' contracts to make it more enticing to the Mavs.

He makes Greivis Vasquz look like Tony Allen defensively.
