If you come away from this thinking that Giannis is completely blameless here, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s an institutional failure on every level and 34 has a lot of culpability.

[Paul Henning @brewcitypaul]

This story will absolutely gut you

The most frustrating thing about Giannis wanting out, it is 100% the fault of ownership & management

It did not have to be this way

It’s impossible to have any faith in owners Edens & Haslem

We are back in the dark days & need new owners

Spurs saw those Kornet Finals minutes and said “never again”

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Damn it

[Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer]

The Hawks told rival teams they were going to listen to trade offers when they were on the clock at No. 23, but I'm told Atlanta is going to keep Zuby Ejiofor.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Okay that makes more sense.

[Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer]

The Thunder and Grizzlies, to be clear, are swapping No. 16 and No. 17. Our first trade of the first round.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Thats all it costs?

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Sources: Memphis is trading No. 16 pick Bennett Stirtz to the Oklahoma City Thunder for two second-round picks.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Both still on the board 👀

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Alright gimme Ament or Carr at 13 and I’ll be happy

[Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto]

Sources: The Golden State Warriors will select Yaxel Lendeborg with the No. 11 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

It’s draft day, how the hell do you have enough information in either direction.

[Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA]

Sooooo......I'd probably rather have Derik Queen than Kingston Flemings and Asa Newell. Obviously doesn't excuse the process as that #8 pick could easily have jumped to the top-4. And I'm lower on Flemings than most too. But what looked like the worst trade ever turned out ok.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Alright gimme Ament or Carr at 13 and I’ll be happy

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

LFG!

[Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks]

Welcome to Milwaukee, Brayden Burries!

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Flagg, Morez and Lively is a HUGE front line. I love Morez’s motor and switchability on defense.

[Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer]

Our first surprise: Dallas is selecting Morez Johnson Jr., sources say, one day after hiring Dusty May.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Kingston Flemings’ size is concerning but he can hoop. Much like Wagler I came back around late on him. He also needs to learn to land on two feet.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Looks like it’s Burries or Ament at 10. Hopefully.

[Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto]

Sources: The Atlanta Hawks will select Kingston Flemings with the No. 8 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Acuff to the Kangz was the most obvious pick of the round.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Mikel Brown Jr. is talented as hell, seems really boom or bust though. He’s going to have to fight MPJ and Randle for the ball though.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Wagler scared the shit outta me throughout the pre-draft process but I came around in the end. I see the vision but the lack of athleticism is still a concern. He’s a hooper though.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

First four picks went chalk. Now the draft really begins…

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Caleb Wil’s run Chicago. Wilson joins Williams. If we look up ten years from now and he’s the best player from this draft, I wouldn’t be surprised.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

Cameron Boozer at #3 just makes sense to me. He feels like a higher upside Al Horford. Gonna be a great pro for a long time.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

I really like what Utah has built. Don’t let anyone tell you tanking didn’t work.

[🔥 🏥 @BucksBurner]

AJ Dybansta #1 makes sense. Does Utah throw a wrench in the proceedings and take Cam Boozer? I think you’ve gotta take Darryn Peterson but I’d get it.
