trade out of this first round of the 2026 draft

Plenty of can't miss prospects even if you didn't win the lottery

Yeah but we have Queen…

We could’ve had Queen and a top 5-6 pick, but hey, it was a great trade if you ask certain people.

I’d feel so much better if the pick had at least top 5 protections on it.

I can't get hype for cant miss draft prospect when our can't miss prospect spends his entire career in street clothes

let Z come back, get some demand going for him, trade him for a two 1st, may not be lottery but we will pick in the first

we’ve been saying this for years and it’s never happened. It’s probably gotten worse. Holding onto players in hope their value improves almost never works

After witnessing Kira Lewis, Jaxson Hayes and Jordan Hawkins and now seeing Queen. I could care less anymore. I’m just happy we got a player who looks like a NBA player. Everyone said this year draft was weak and look at how most of them are performing.

Pretty happy with Fears and Queen. Trade Z and get back into first round. Fire Willy

The pick traded to Atlanta could have and should have had at a minimum top 5 protection on it. Atlanta would have still made the trade.

That’s why it was a dumb trade, the trade up itself was great, not putting protection on the pick was the idiotic thing.

And the pacers first should have had some protection thrown on it.

The pacers were in the finals when they made that deal. Hard for to believe a 1-4 protection just cause would have killed that trade.

I’m talking about the recent draft. Everyone said it was top heavy with it being just Flagg, Harper and Edgecombe.

Fears, Coward, Kon, Queen, CMB, Kalkbrenner, Tre Johnson, Will Richard, Drake Powell looks good also.

Pacers pick was already top 4 protected when we received it.

We wouldn’t have Queen without getting that 2nd pick in last draft so I’ll call that a wash.

Our pick definitely should have had protections though, we could have done a setup like this and Atlanta still accepts IMO

2026 Top 10 protected if pick doesn’t convey then its a 2027 Top 4 protected if pick doesn’t convey then it’s unprotected in 2028

I would have been happy with a 2026 top 4 protection and that still likely would have been appealing to them.
