2026 NBA draft thread

[Chicagojk]

Surprised. Not what I was thinking. Spent very little time on Jonas thought he would not be an option. Won’t be able to watch YouTube highlights where I am at currently until the next couple days too.

I was never a big Burries fan and the draft really did t break right for Dallas. We will see.

Milwaukee gets Burries and Ament.  We'll get to monitor/evaluate both for years to come.

The two that was most connected to the Mavs and were available. 
Yeah, if they succeed and Morez don't, folks will talk about same way as the 2020 draft and worse

The Warriors are fielding offers for the No. 11 pick, per source.

They were big fans of Burries.

[Mavs2021]

Lmfao didn't think of it like that.

Thanks.

At first I thought to write: calling Giannis a solid player is a little harsh.

[SleepingHero]

Silver an absolute troll repeating the Giannis trade

If we were going center, Steinbach is the only guy I might've taken over Morez.

[DanSchwartzgan]

FWIW, KOC gave Dallas an A+ for Morez

[Mavs2021]

LOL everybody got excited about we have a trade, then lost interested quickly.

Guess Forrest was correct about how they do it.

[mvossman]

I liked Morez, certainly better than Mara and Ament, but I liked him at 12 with an OKC trade. I am curious to see what this FO is going to do to address the complete offensive shit show we saw last season. Kyrie is not going to be enough.

Every single guy on this No Ceilings stream gushed over the pick, too. They had him in this range, didn't seem like they thought it was a reach.

Not enough to trade up to 9

[SleepingHero]

Damn.

I loved Hannes interview. Going to be trying to get him on the Mavs for years to come now.

Remains to be seen..Mavs need shooting too.

ATL went PG at 8. Now rooting for Gafford to ATL for 23+Kispert. Mavs select Christian Anderson. Best shooter in the class?

Anfernee Simons and Zach Lavine, baby.  

We don´t need perimeter defense anymore, we just let Kyrie, Anfernee and Zach put up traffic cones, so all these opposing guards can drive straight into our frontcourt brick wall.

I'm hoping for Stirtz in that or similar scenario.

[omahen]

Some reports say there could be a bunch of picks available after pick #20. NY, Denver, LA, Atlanta could all be interested to trade their picks.

Me too, and probably Masai did too.
But OKC probably called our bluff, they knew Mara wasn't our guy, and neither Bucks or GSW were going for him.
