There could be some massive tanking this year to get in on the deep '26 class, and this might greatly weaken the value of '27 1st round picks in trades.

Then watch as Boston gets the 1st pick while having the worst odds and we get bumped to 5th.

These reports always trip me up.

Some of the kids in the 2027 class could still grow 2-4 inches taller than they are now.
