Y'all talking about trading down from 1 and away from Wemby are nuts. There's always a chance at a pick busting. But I'll take my chances EVERY FREAKIN' DAY with a player whose upside is Lebron + Duncan.
Plus, you are waaaaaaay understating what you could get for him. A team like OKC would trade Chet + Giddey + J.Will + 8+ FRPs for him without thinking. And that would still be a bad deal for the team drafting Wemby.

Quote:NBA Insider Dave McMenamin now revealed some insights on Wembanyama and revealed some utterly ridiculous things he was told by teams across the NBA, such as team officials willing to trade every draft pick for the next 10 years in order to get Wembanyama.
Quote:“I had one guy tell me that the only way he’s not the no. 1 pick is if a team does research and finds out he murdered someone. I had another team tell me that ‘no one’s gonna have to go overseas to scout him anymore. Now that they’ve seen it, they’ve seen enough. I had someone else tell me he shoots like Steph Curry. I had someone else tell me that if it was possible to trade draft picks for the next 10 years, they would trade draft picks for the next 10 years in order to secure the spot to get him. I had someone else tell me that he is the ‘anti-Darko Milicic.’ Whereas in the past you had someone who was almost mythical out there but now the entire league has seen the real deal. Everybody’s convinced and, quite frankly, he will be the under-running current to the entire NBA standing all season long.”
