    There are also always teams during a draft who like someone when your pick comes up and are willing to offer a future draft pick or picks for a first rounder right then and there.

    I saw this one today: just a suggestion by a guy, not a rumor but I kind of like it.
    Grant to the Mavs for
    F Olivier Maxence-Prosper
    C Richaun Holmes
    F Maxi Kleber
    2026 First-Round Pick (Top-6 Protected, Pending Obligation To NY),
    2028 First-Round Pick Swap (Top-8 Protected)
    Prosper is a SF rookie with fairly good weight and wingspan. Plays hard on defense.

    Interesting. Drafted one spot after we took Murray.

    I’ve really thought about OMax, and I’d personally love it, although he’s so raw that people who already are complaining about Chauncey and the offense are only getting more fuel to be annoying about it lol.

    I don’t think the Mavs are going to want to give up any 1sts though. With 2 1sts, I think they’re going to want to go star hunting in a last effort to keep Luka around for as long as they can. As good as they’ve been, they’re the 7th seed and a bad stretch could push them into the play-in. Anything could happen in the playoffs, and they would even exit early. Any of these things happening just makes it harder to keep Luka if you blow your load on Grant. Don’t know if Grant is that player for them unless the deal is less than this.

    I think it comes down to keeping Luka happy and going after who he wants.

    The Kings want Jerami Grant. Deal him and the GS 1st for Keegan Murray, and we can start both brothers together.

    And we'd finally get Harrison Fucking Barnes, undoing the mistake of 2012.

    Lol, no thanks. I was fine with the Kris pick because he doesn’t look like he’ll be much worse than Keegan and he didn’t cost a top 20 pick. Overpaying for Keegan would just drive me crazy. Kings should overpay for Kris instead.

    I actually wouldn't mind getting Keegan. He's a really solid starting 3 now. He'd replace Grant's shooting but I think play more within the flow of the offense. He's a very tradeable player if it doesn't work out.

    Plus it would confuse teams to have twins on the floor at the same time? Who am I guarding, Kris or Keegan? They both look the same...

    A lot might happen between now and Wednesday. After a slew of blowouts like we suffered big changes need to be made and all of these vets sitting tonight when they weren't injured last game makes me think we've got a trade or trades. I think the Malcolm trade may have already been in the works when we sat him for rest.

    I’m hoping the Kings feel the same way and would trade us a 1st back + 2nds and Davion or something. We have 2 lotto picks and can find a wing. I’d rather just start Cody Williams than trade more for Murray. Doesn’t make much sense.

    Or I’d just keep Kris and see if he’ll be a solid starting 3 before his rookie deal is up. Do you expect us to be good before the Kris rookie deal is over?

    I’m guessing the worse deal out there is the Fournier + ‘24 DAL 1st?

    Not terrible, the pick should be in the late teens/early 20’s? Maybe we trade up with it for the guy we absolutely want. Or trade out of one of the lottos for a ‘25 1st + whatever, and draft a center like Missi with the Mavs 1st?

    I have no idea what’s actually out there though. I’m really not interested in WCJ and filler without the ‘25 DEN 1st. I know that’s an overpay from Orlando. You trade one of the high 2nds to even it out or something, but having 3 injured centers and no 1st involved from Brogdon would just be devastating.

    grant and a first for Keegan Murray would not be overpaying, that would be the steal of a lifetime. Unfortunately the kings would laugh at us if we proposed that deal. Murray looks like he’ll be an elite glue guy that will be a plus at everything. On a rookie deal that is a very strong asset.

    I don't see Kings giving up Keegan for Grant. Sacramento has good young talent on a rookie scale contract. If the Blazers trade Jerami, i'd expect a Pelican style Cronin special. Find a new Hart/Brogdon Blazer to rent for a pick, several contract scrubbing scrubs, and of course picks.

    Keegan has been mediocre. I'm not particularly hopeful for him.

    I mean, he IS a nice player. But he’s in the Camara, Walker, Kris, Rupert tier to me, valuable role players, or guys who could become valuable role players. Keegan is better than all of those guys right now, sure, but still one of those guys nonetheless.

    Yeah, I'd be surprised if he's a starter in this league in 5 years. I like Rupert as a prospect more.
