The Mavericks accrued some minor assets today while moving down two spots in Thursday's draft, a trade that shouldn't impact their preferred list of prospects.
President of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said the Mavericks were happy to get second-round picks this year (54th) and next year (the worse of Portland's two picks) and only having to drop from 22nd to 24th in this year's first round.
"It's just two spots and we're still going to get the guy we like,'' Nelson said.
The Mavericks continue to work the phone lines and may not be done wheeling and dealing before the 6 p.m. draft tomorrow.
