Dallas Mavericks: Why fans should still watch the 2021 NBA Draft

The Dallas Mavericks have not been shy about trading away their draft picks. It started with dealing two first-rounders to move up to grab Luka Doncic. The Mavs shipped out two more to acquire Kristaps Porzingis from the New York Knicks, and a top ten protection on their 2023 pick limits Dallas from trading their first in 2025. They have no hesitation about giving up future picks to improve their roster.

The Mavs currently do not have a selection in the 2021 NBA Draft. They sent their second-rounder to the New Orleans Pelicans to acquire J.J. Redick and Nicolo Melli at the trade deadline. Dallas needs to acquire a pick on draft day or they will be without a selection for the first time since 2014.

Some Mavericks fans are probably thinking about skipping Thursday’s NBA Draft, but that is a mistake. There are plenty of reasons why Dallas supporters should still tune in. Here is a closer look at why they should watch.
