Mavs eye 5th pick for Jordan Hill but is it the best thing to do?

Mavs love J Hill as do I but would moving up to 5 and taking him be correct??

If we take Hill it will probably mean we are not resigning Brandon Bass. Bass had a career year and shows he will improve in his game. Wouldn't it be better to draft a good scoring 2 guard (which we need at the starters) such as Derozan or Harden and still keep Bass than to get a replacement for Brandon who isnt guaranteed to be better and still have to find more talent for the 2? What do you guys think?

I also added my plan revised.

The Mavs resign Jason Kidd and Brandon Bass and Ryan Hollins and James SIngleton. Think about Green. He shows promise but is it worth taking the risk?

Mavs trade Josh Howard and Shawne WIlliams for Josh Smith

Mavs trade Stack + 22 to move up to get #5 and Mike James then draft Demar Derozan

Mavs trade Erick Dampier and someone else for Marcus Camby

Mavs acquire second round pick for cash and draft PG Rodrigue Beaubois

Mavs get Shan FOster from the summer league camp and shift him to D League at first and then call him up.

PG- Jason Kidd

SG- Demar Derozan

SF- Josh Smith

PF- Dirk Nowitzki

C- Marcus Camby

SG- Jason Terry

PF- Brandon Bass

PG- Rodrigue Beaubois

C- Ryan Hollins

SG/SF- Antoine Wright

PF- James SIngleton

PG- Mike James and JJ Barea

SF- Shan Foster

SG- Gerald Green?

So what do you guys think

Stack + 22

won’t be enough to get 5. The Wizards want a veteran.

The Wizards would take Stack's contract

and the 22nd pick so we would get 5 and take back bad contract of Mike James maybe even Etan Thomas’s contract.

I don’t think Howard for Williams/Smit works without Atlanta adding both their centers.

Signature! I don't need no stinking signature!!

According to this we could easily get the second pick in the draft. Perkins and Walker for the second pick, we can top that.

S-St. Louis, R-Rams, D-Dallas, M-Mavericks, A-Arizona, D-Diamondbacks.

How do you figure we could easily get it?

It ain’t like that Boston offer is anywhere close to what Memphis would take…

That's why I said "according to this we could easily get the second pick"

because there’s no way Memphis trades that second pick for basically Perkins, but according to the rumor we could top that deal. But again, Memphis is not trading that pick for Perkins.

S-St. Louis, R-Rams, D-Dallas, M-Mavericks, A-Arizona, D-Diamondbacks.

Eyeing Hill at #5 may be a smoke screen.

If we were able to trade either Terry (more likely) or Howard (less likely) to the Wizards for the #5 pick, we would be looking at a SG such as Jennings, DeRozan, or Harden. However, if you read this post (http://www.bulletsforever.com/2009/6/17/912245/who-is-gilbert-arenas-ideal) you’ll see why the Wizards trading for Terry wouldn’t be their best deal.
