Grade “D” Assets

Nicolas Brussino and future second round picks (D)

The Dallas Mavericks really don’t have any bad trade assets that they would be unable to move if they tried. Some teams have situations like Joakim Noah or Rajon Rondo that would qualify as a grade D when grading their trade assets, but not Dallas.

This really isn’t a knock on Brussino either, but the kid is still really raw and needs plenty of time to develop. I would assume he would not be coveted on the trade market.

Future second round picks are always thrown into deals to simply make them work.
