Best NBA Player Available for pick 3

Ja Morant?

I'd think about trading Lauri for 3. I'm 50/50 on whether I would.

No team with the #3 pick would offer that for Lauri atm.

Maybe? I think if Philly or Dallas moved to 3 they'd have to think about it.

Very hard for Philly to end up with the 3rd pick, but even if they do, that is probably looking like getting Markinen, a future first and off loading PGs contract in the process, at minimum. Right now Lauri looks like an overpaid contract who is just younger than most overpaid stars.

Dallas would also need to offload a bunch of bad contracts for it to make sense, and they would end up if a very crowded backcourt- AD, Lively, Galford and Lauri? Hard to play 3 of those 4 together, and even 2 at times.

I think Washington should consider moving the pick as well if they don't get #1.

I dont watch much college ball, but how is a team with two top 3 picks in Rutgers just meh? It makes me cautious about Bailey and Harper.

I don’t think Dallas should be interested really.

But Gafford almost has to be involved in the matching salary?

“Gafford, PJ, Klay, 3rd” would be the trade package right?.. leaves the Martin/Marshall duo off the bench, so you start a really tall trio and shift it..

Again, I would think if the NBA lottery decides to apologize to Dallas and give them a top 4 pick.. Dallas really shouldn’t thank them by trading it. Just trade AD and tank in 2026.
