Posted: Sun May 18, 2025 6:38 pm
Simple trade:
Wiz trade 6 overall for: 15+2026 Philly 1st (top 4 protected in 2026, top 4 protected in 2027, if not conveyed turns into a 2027 2nd)+2026 most favorable of (OKC 2026 1st, Houston 2026 1st (currently top 4 projected), and LAC 2026 1st)+2029 Boston 2nd+2030 Miami 2nd.
Note that currently, the Wiz get the least favorite of OKC's 2026 1st, Houston's 2026 1st (top 4 protected), LAC's 2026 1st. After, this trade, Wiz get the most favorite and least favorite and OKC's gets the middle.
Why for the Wiz? They hate their position assuming Flagg, Harper, Tre, VJ, and Ace are all gone. They move down and pick up two future 1sts and two 2nds. Why for OKC? They could have their eye on Kon or Mauluach. They have shown in the past that they will trade some of their war chest to move up in the draft.
