Is Miami after this trade better than Milwaukee last season?

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #4 on:** June 23, 2026, 09:11:04 am »

Pretty good draft this year so Milwaukee can get a decent prospect with the 13 pick. Almost seems though that neither team will be very good. Giannis is aging and injured often. Milwaukee gets a couple decent players but that probably doesn’t push their needle.

Top four picks are all legit #1s. Very deep draft. I think the Wizards took the best fit.

LeBron waited until the Lakers had to guarantee Bronny's $2.3 million contract before he announced his departure.

He’s always been a class act.

He won LA a ring. Odds are against the guys they’re pushing him out for doing the same. I’m betting against them even getting as far as he got the Lakers last year

Not really my point. As their real GM he had them waste time with Bronny and now they are saddled with him for a while. It’s not big money but he knew what he was doing.

Really depends on who the Lakers pick up. He never really fit with Luka.

I hope the Wizards pry everything they can out of the Warriors for AD. And then he will be hurt.

Bronny was a late pick making almost nothing. Their GM has all the leeway in the world now (other than two guys on max contracts). I don’t think Luka is ever getting out of the west again, too many other teams have gotten much better

Jaylen Brown will get moved for the right package of picks. I suppose including a useful big man would help too.

Golden State and Cleveland the clear favorites for LeBron's services. The Wizards, despite being the only team in the universe with LeBron's dream teammate AD under contract, have worse odds than "stay with Lakers" despite the latter being something LeBron flat out said he would not do.

Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George, a 2028 and a 2031 1stbround pick, and seconds in 2028 and 2030.

George I think was to balance the salaries. He’ll contribute some, but the picks are the point and I don't think much of the picks.
