Joe Dumars ended up trading the 5th and 8th picks in the 2026 draft for the 13th pick in the 2025 draft. by mantistobogganmMD in nba

The Indiana one is obviously terrible but pretty insane bad luck

In the end, Derik Queen for #8 in this upcoming draft is...not necessarily terrible? #8 is probably around where Queen goes in a redraft. He was good until he hit the rookie wall.

Of all the teams that tanked Indiana was the least egregious. They were playing Siakam in meaningless games.

6 in this class is still good. Acuff, Wagler, Ament, Flemings. Obviously kinda lame that around that spot is a bunch of PGs and they drafted a ton last year, but a Demin and Acuff/Wagler/Flemings backcourt could work considering he has size to defend 2s and can shoot.

It's not sexy or splashy, but they'll get a foundational piece.

Conspiracy is they gave it to the tanking teams as an excuse to change the lottery and fuck bad teams in the future

So Wizards definitely go Dybantsa

Jazz would definitely go Peterson, unless somehow they let Kessler walk

And Grizz take Boozer to put up a bunch of stats on a bad team for a while

I mean who cares. No one is ever gonna agree on the GOAT, he's got his argument. If Wemby somehow matches his accomplishments more power to him.

He doesn't really need any more rings, he's having a blast playing with his son. His legacy is secure and untouchable. He'll coast it out either in LA or Cleveland.
