Best Offer for the 6th pick (the Wizards are willing to drop out all together)

[mhd]

Assuming that Flagg, Harper, Ace, Tre Johnson, and VJ all are gone, there isn't a player that really interests the Wizards at 6. They already have young guys (Sarr, Bilal, George, Bub, and AJ Johnson) that will get a ton of developmental time this upcoming season. Also keep in mind that because their 2026 1st is top 8 protected (otherwise it turns into a 2026 2nd and 2027 2nd) to the Knicks, they will be tanking hard this upcoming season to ensure that that pick never conveys. Because of this, they are NOT looking for any players who could disrupt the tank for the upcoming season. Ideally, they finish no worse than 4th overall to ensure that that pick never conveys. With the 18th pick in hand, the Wiz feel that that they can get a young player for developmental purposes, so trading out isn't the worst option. The players most likely to be traded up for at 6 are Kon, Frears, and Maluach.

The Spurs traded #8 last year for a 2031 unprotected 1st and 2030 top 1 protected swap rights with Minnesota. That is the ballpark of what the 6th pick is worth. Would any team offer up an unprotected 1st and swap rights to that extent? What are your best offers?

I really think they should pick Maluach,
Play him and Sarr together some, and have either one on the court always to protect the rim. With Bilal that could be incredible D up front.
Draft BPA at #19-maybe a guy like Fleming, who becomes your third big long term

6 and 18 for 3 is definitely a possibility.

6 and 18 for 3 is definitely a possibility.

That's really bad for the 76ers, they can get better offers for sure.

How amusing it would be if they offered 6,18 for Deni?

I hope so!

I just don't think this pick has enough value to trade. They're better off rolling the dice themselves.

There isn’t anyone available at 6 that’s going to mess up Washington’s tank. More likely the opposite. And they still have plenty of minutes to give a new rook 20 a game.

Knueppel is going to be an excellent basketball player and this is a (very) deep and good Draft, until the end of the first round. I think that 6+18+4 SRP or something like that is something that the 76ers should value for the 3rd pick.
