2026 NBA draft thread

[DanSchwartzgan]

Yes, the thought that Dallas is trying to scare something out of Milwaukee in order to move down exactly one spot and then draft whomever they would've drafted anyway at 9 did occur to me.

It is a reasonable theory, but the thing that struck me was 'to what end'?  They don't have any picks to speak of.  They aren't giving up Ryan Rollins to move up one spot.  

Then I realized their entire roster might be remade in the next few days.  So, who do we like from Miami?  If Milwaukee values Ament, they probably don't want Jovic in the Giannis deal.  That would be a nice piece of business.
