Whose picks do the pistons have? Blazers keep being brought up because they have Milwaukee’s picks from the Dame trade. Sounds like Milwaukee would like the picks back so want to involve them somehow. Control your tank.

Sources: Grizzlies trade Jaren Jackson Jr. to Jazz in 8-player deal
The Grizzlies are trading star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Jazz as part of an eight-player deal, sources told ESPN.
I just don't know what they could give up. They don't control any of their draft picks for awhile and all their good players are 30 or near it aside from ANT. They wont give up ANT right?
Didn't see that one coming.
Harden is still good but there's a lot of miles on his body.
I also feel like we were probably at the end of the line with seeing what Garland and Mitchell could do together.
I am not a Cavs fan at all but I have enjoyed watching them in these recent years.
3 first round picks. Unless you're picking in the top 5, NBA draft picks must be worthlessNIang traded...

Saw a theory this morning that the Cavs will end up with Harden, LeBron ( and Bronny), and Giannis.
Can’t do Giannas without the Nets to make the cap/money work.
Jaden McDaniels is 25... and Naz Reid is 26. I wouldn't want to give up either one of those guys... especially Jaden. They should be building this team around Ant and Jaden IMO.
And no... Ant is going nowhere... that would NEVER be on the table.
As a Wolves fan... I'm really torn on this one. I love Giannis, but I really wish the Wolves could keep at least McDaniels. Usually trading for veteran expensive players doesn't ever seem to work out IMO. But Giannis is still only 31, which isn't ancient. But I think you only do this if you think you can win a title in the next couple years.
Dang, Celtics and Jazz he never saw the floor.NIang traded...

I'm suprised McDaniels is that young I had assumed 28/29. I don't think Bucks would take McDaniels and Reid package without a 3rd team getting involved. Bucks want heavy draft capital i think they'll get at least 3 1st round picks though maybe 1 is just a swap in any deal they accept. There's a good chance a 3rd team will have to get involved to make everything work so I'm not ruling out Timberwolves either. If they somehow kept McDaniels and added Giannis that would be an unbelievable defense with Gobert added in
I see the Wolves got a pick yesterday for Conley, so they are definitely trying.
I agree with some analysts saying having Gobert and Giannis together won’t work. So this could all get interesting. I don’t see it happening honestly.
The Wolves have a lot of players the Bucks would want. Randle, McDaniels, and Naz Reid are just some of them. Maybe Gobert? The Wolves are really good.. were last year too.
Puts a bow on one of the worst trades ever now that AD has been shipped to Washington for two 1st rounders, three 2nd rounders and expiring contracts basically. That organization essentially turned Luka Doncic into three 1st rounders and Max Christie. Just such abysmally bad work there.
EDIT: On top of that, I didn't realize how awful the 1st round picks are too.

- 2026 OKC pick - will obviously be at/near the end of the 1st round
- 2029 Lakers pick - probably won't be great unless Luka falls of a cliff or leaves LA
- 2030 Warriors pick - top 20(!) protected
