I´m thinking we will trade with OKC, if BOTH Mara and Ament are still on the board at #9. The danger is that either will be picked earlier (Hawks for Mara, Nets for Ament).
Reasoning.
OKC wants Mara to have somebody that can physically match-up with Wembanyama and will be ready to take over from Hartenstein now or in 12 months as the new frontcourt partner of Holmgren.
Bucks seems set on Ament. That means either Burries or Flemings already made it to #11.
Now the Warriors are the wildcard. Realistically they should take the BPA, cause they are finished, but we know how it is *cough* Giannis/Larkin *cough*. For some superstars you have to defy logic, so will Lendeborg be the win now pick? Or do they trade the pick (+X), for example to Utah for Markkanen and Utah then picks the remaining guard. That´s a real threat, too.
