2026 NBA draft thread

[KillerLeft]

I actually agree. Which is why I avoided talking about 17 all together in that post. I actually typed up something about 17 possibly not being part of it and deleted it bc I didn’t want it to take away from my real point that Klutch would need to get Burries to 12 in this trade back hypothetical.

If Hawks go Mara, I don’t even think it’s available to them. This was just an exercise in what could play out. The way I see it anyway.

The other thing I don't get is this: IF Mara is the target, why would OKC even be worried about trading up? I reeeeeaaaaaalllly don't think he's in danger of getting picked before 12, especially if he gets by ATL (he will, I bet). My guess is that their target is someone else...like Burries.
