Portland are second winners in the lotto. They'll get a lot of bidders for Scoot. But it's the Blazers and somehow they'll fudge it up.https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-mock...randon-miller/
Damn, 3, 4, 5, 10 potentially for sale!Don't know whether the Spurs have what these teams are looking for (win now players), but couldn't hurt to explore options.
What is Houston doing? Why the do they want Harden? An aging, ball-dominant player indicating by returning to H-town that he wants to just strip club it up and lounge around. Just take a swing at a Thompson. Not sure what they'd want for that pick.
Detroit might get a Thompson in their lap. If not, they're in a weird spot. Kind of a directionless team.
Dallas is positioned really well to improve themselves. Make some shrewd cheap pick-ups and find a good talent for that #10 and they're in better shape. But they haven't found cheap pick-ups in the past...

i think it was just yesterday i was saying im not in a rush to trade him given his contract. but wemby changes a lot lol
They're better off with someone like Hendricks than Keldon, IMO. Luka + Kyrie + Keldon = give up 140 points every night.
Portland needs to trade DAME, not Scoot. He'll be over 33 by the start of the season, and unless he plays at the All NBA level his contract is atrocious. His value will plummet with any injury or sign of decline, which is bound to happen any second. If I'm them, I keep the pick and look to move Lillard, Simons and Nurkic while they can.
Harden to Houston to me seems more like an obvious leverage move by Harden than anything else, though I don't think it's impossible, just stupid (remember him showing up fat and forcing his way to Brooklyn?)
If I'm Dallas I'd keep Hendricks if available, unless there's a great offer for already established talent to keep Luka and Kyrie content.
Dallas is a place where Keldon would thrive. The gravity that Irving and Doncic create would open things up for him completely. Lots of drives and open shots.
On offense, absolutely. On defense... horrible fit.
Kyrie and Doncic. They're not playing defense anyway.
They'd give up 140 a night
Orlando, Utah, and Dallas make a lot of sense as Keldon trade partners tbh. Make it happen, BW!

Id offer up Keldon, + some other player (unsure who) Charlotte pick for 3rd pick (assuming it gets us Scoot)
I'm pretty much in that boat too. I think a collection of Charlotte, Chicago, 2nd's, and KJ gives us a plethora of options to move up in this draft for most any player we really covet. As for draft strengths, this draft, 25, and 26 are the one's we should target. If tbe FO really sees a fundamental piece out there they should go get it.
I don't know DET's team super well, but Cam seems like he'd be a fit there. Miller would have been a nice fit, but he'll be gone. Ausar probably fits better than Amen for them. How would Jarace fit for them? Seems like 3/4 is where they need help, which kind of aligns with the options at 5.
Doesn't surprise me that some of these teams already looking to bail. It's the same thing we've been talking about if we landed there. As you've been one of the more vocal people on this... this class seems kind of weak. Surely we aren't the only ones who had noticed that. Thank God the basketball gods favor us.
I'd think Jarace, Ausar, Hendricks, and Cam are the best fits for Detroit in that range.
If we somehow landed Wemby AND Scott that would be some Kevin Costner, GOAT-level GM'ing from Wright (at least to us amateur scouts).
With that said... I'd prefer to just get Dame for that package.
TBH, a core of Cade, Ivey, Cam, Duren is still pretty exciting.
SA v DET Finals rematch coming at us in 2026.
Too much athleticism, not enough bball IQ and shooting.
Detroit has decent pieces, but I'm not a huge believer in Cade and Ivey was a bit of a disappointment. Duren was a great pick. Not sure why they bothered with Wiseman, but he might be okay?
They should just take BPA but they're in a no man's land where that player isn't clear. Hard to see them improving a ton this offseason.
It's Cam, then Hendricks, Walker. They need wings that can shoot. But I wouldn't be surprised if they try to trade up to 2/3 for Brandon Miller.
Duren was very good for the spot he was taken, but unless he develops skills his impact is bigger on the highlight reels than on the court. As it stands right now I'd rather have Walker Kessler.
He'll be gone by 20, at the latest. Possibly by 14 or before. I'm reading he has lots of team's attention due to his 2 way capabilities.
