2026 NBA draft thread

[F Gump]

Some of the guys in the Discord are talking about a local podcaster suggesting that the Mavs might trade #9 plus players for Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones. Since I view TM3 as an empty stats junk player and Jones as having fairly major availability issues, that's a hail no for me. Unless they want to send back their pick for next year unprotected as well.

I'm with you. I don't see much value for the Mavs. I'd rather have Mavs #9 than NO 1st next season. And while Murphy is a SF who can shoot and puts up numbers, I think his defense is meh and he's paid highly (another 3 y/$87M). Jones is considerably negative value with a way-too-big contract (4 y/$82.5M). PASS.
