2026 NBA Draft Thread

[smedroc]

You really think Wemby tryna team up with Giannis or vice versa??

Giannis going Houston and it's going to be smoke for the next 5 years.

 

[B Sox]

If I'm the Bucks, the Spurs gotta give me Castle, 2, 14 and the Hawks picks as a starting offer. Then whatever salary filler to make a trade work.

Edit:
They also have future FRP from the Mavs and Kings too.

They also have that Wolves pick in like 2030 that Minny traded so they could take Bones Hyland Jr.

We so cursed in Charlotte. I really wanted Flag or Harper. Smh.

I’ll settle for the big outta Duke. Mark and Melo yall on the block.

 

[ill steelo]

AD, Giannis, Wemby in the same division on 3 different teams would be great television

 

[polosanddunks]

Told yall several times in sports thread. The NBA been salivating for the next great white hope from America. Here it is in a perfect place.

They weren’t even tryna hide it this time with 1.8% chance and that Luka trade

Rockets and Spurs gonna be throwing pick after pick at the Bucks to prevent the other team from getting Giannis.

Happy for Mavs fans after what had to be hell recently

Not happy at all that the gross mismanagement by the Mavs front office is being rewarded this way

Man hell nah. Buddy didn’t have a single damn rebound in that tourney game they lost. 6 points and 1 block in 21 minutes.

Absolutely can’t waste that pick on Maluach. Mark is infinitely the better long term choice.

Sarr and Queen together.

Their skill sets mesh well on paper…Wiz gotta do it, that’s the only pick that would have any type of buzz for em at 6

 

[B Sox]

Sarr and Queen is a perfect pairing.

You think the Bucks would take Fox instead of Castle if offered ?

Sarr-Queen would be a complimentary frontcourt, but at the same time it feels like a very Grunfeld move to pick the local kid like Juan Dixon and Otto Porter Jr.

 

[smedroc]

Spurs in an interesting spot.

On paper they don't need to draft a lead guard in Harper.

Could they flip him and some other pieces to upgrade the wing positions or the back up big.

Mark made of glass. Man I’m ready to punt on him and Melo. Sell high on both, somebody gonna bite

Ready to build around Brandon Miller

Edgecombe wouldn’t be a bad pick for Charlotte…Everything he’s supposed to be good at ain’t a strength of Lamelo’s so they could help each other out in the backcourt and he has upside n plays hard

Spurs could just keep Harper around for a while too…Adding that kinda talent to your rotation doesn’t hurt and you need depth to be a good team these days anyway

Gotta take the BPA, imo. Maluach is not that, regardless of whether or not it’s time to move on from Mark.

 

[pmatic]

Morey hasn't been shy dealing picks in the past, but I think he's going to need to keep #3. The Sixers are expensive and probably need to pay Grimes this summer too.

 

[pmatic]

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I think this might be the correct take.

I think you return to the old odds, and keep the play in.

Multiple firsts cant be used in a single trade package

Spurs still sitting pretty tho

Sure they can.

 

[ny mavurs]

Sure they can.

I meant same-year draft picks in one deal

I’m pretty sure they can’t use both lotto picks in a single deal

 

[worldbeefreeg]

I'm actually of the opinion this is kind of a horrible situation for Cooper.

Mavs basically have zero draft equity going forward, he's ushered into a team as a 3rd-4th option surrounded by guys who are 30+ and won't be around in 3-4 years in an absolutely loaded conference.

They'll be competitive next year but longterm when he hits 23-24 I don't see anyway that the team situation looks anything but grim.
