2026 NBA draft thread

[KillerLeft]

New regime and all, but we've done recent business with the teams that hold 6-8 and we probably have the ammo to move up to those spots.  Assuming the Mavs have someone in that 4-9 range pegged above everyone else in that grouping and assuming he makes it past the Clippers, they could start working the phones to land their guy.

I was hopeful that #30 might be enough to move up a spot or two, but after a couple of discussions I've heard recently about the cost of moving up in this draft I kinda doubt the Mavs have the ammo. Nor do I really feel strongly enough about anyone past the top 2 picks to really pull the trigger, and they obviously can't get one of those two. You're right, though - if Schmidt REALLY loves a particular dude, maybe there's a way.
