[外電] Source: Mavericks could move into first round of NBA dra

 While the Mavericks   are making a concerted effort to move up in Thursday's
NBA  draft, they are not limiting their pursuit to merely improving their
second-round position.

There is a possibility the Mavericks could wiggle into the middle of the
first round, a league source said, because there are teams drafting in that
area that might relinquish their pick if they can get rid of a salaried
player with it.

The intent for those teams would be to get salary cap relief to perhaps be
stronger players in the free-agent frenzy that begins July 1, or to avoid
paying any luxury tax.

For instance, the source said, if the Mavericks were willing to take a player
back, it would be a financial windfall for the other team and net the
Mavericks a pick and a player. The player coming to the Mavericks would have
to fit into their trade exception (about $2.4 million) acquired in the Kris
Humphries trade with New Jersey last season.

If such a move gets the Mavericks into the top 20, it's an area that could
produce value in a relatively deep draft. Currently, they own only the No. 50
overall pick.

"We're active as always and we're in the mix on a number of situations,"
president Donnie Nelson said without getting into any specifics. "If the
opportunity presents itself, we'll squeeze the trigger."

Another scenario is that the Mavericks could buy their way into the early
portion of the second round. Several teams are considering this avenue
because, while it could cost as much as $1.5 million, it still would be
cheaper than trying to get into the first round because a second-round pick
does not require a two- or three-year commitment.

There's a sizeable difference most seasons between picking in the first round
and in the second. However, many talent evaluators believe the depth in this
year's draft means that the first 10 picks of the second round could be equal
in talent to the last 10 picks of the first round.

Even last season, the second round was productive. Of the 30 players chosen
in the 2009 second round, 17 played in the NBA and 11 others still have their
rights owned by NBA teams. Only two – Goran Suton (50th) and Jack McClinton
(51st) – were cut in training camp.

The Mavericks have not hit on a second-round draft pick since Greg Buckner in
1998. However, they have had good luck late in the first round with picks
such as Josh Howard and Roddy Beaubois.What to expect at No. 50

If the Mavericks stay put with the 50th overall pick, here's the sort of
players they could get. Players taken with the 50th pick in the last five
drafts.

小牛想嘗試換到前20的順位

代價是可能要吃一位球員的薪水
