2026 NBA draft thread

[RasheedsBigWhiteSpot]

First of all no trades with the lakers till we use their pick it will be a lot more valuable if we do not help them improve. Trade Gafford to some other team who is willing to get us a pick.

You cannot make a deal with the devil when they owe you a pick that you hope is worth more because LeBronda retires and Luka decides to move on to Denver.

With all due respect, I think it's silly to limit yourself on who you'll trade with based on past situations. The issue wasn't that the Mavs traded with LA. It was that an idiot negotiated the terms. 

And, oh my...you seriously overrate Gafford as if he would be some singular key to setting up the Lakers into being a championship contender for years. Likewise, do I think Luka would like to play with Gafford again? Sure. Absolutely. Do I think Gafford is enough that would make Luka want to re-sign with LA longterm? He'll no.
