2026 NBA draft thread

[Mavs2021]

ROUND 1 HAS BEGUN

Just as a reminder for those intently discussing pick trades --- if there are any trades of picks, we won't hear about them until after all the related picking is done. The draft order and teams is locked in.

So (for example) if the Mavs traded 9 for 12/17, we wouldn't know about it until some time much later than 9 -- maybe after 17, maybe after 30, maybe later.

Really? 

I get not wanting the picks to be leaked before the live broadcast, but that sounds detrimental to the product. People then just won´t watch and get the results afterwards.Plus you´ll p*** off so many fanbases.

Imagine Dybantsa and Peterson thinking those are their teams for another four hours, then the trade gets announced.
