2026 NBA draft thread

[KillerLeft]

Ujiri knows how big this draft is for this franchise. I believe he has got Schmidt here to bounce ideas off of because he genuinely values his opinion.  I also feel he will give him a long leash on scouting, free agency, trades, but for this draft, Ujiri will  be the guy who makes at least the #9 pick.

Yeah, I hear you. That's just not the sense I'm getting at all from those who (claim to be) "in the know."

And so the next chapter of "all the good moves must've been Lindsey" begins, lol. At least Schmidt is actually called GM, and not assistant. I think Ujiri's role is more along the lines of what Cuban used to (try to) do, personally. Just a lot better, hopefully. The other day in an interview, he literally pointed over his shoulder at Schmidt and said something like "it's about what that guy over there likes."
