Per @JWeinbachNBA
The Thunder could be looking to move up in this years draft, and the Nets #6 pick is one to keep an eye on.
Sean Marks and Sam Presti could be doing business in the near future. π€
Hypothetical trade package for Jaylen Brown:
Nets Receive: Jaylen Brown
Celtics Receive: MPJ, Nic Claxton, 2026 #6 overall pick, 2027 second round pick, 2028 first round pick
How would you feel about Jaylen Brown as the new face of the Nets? ποΈβ¬οΈ
The top four picks in the 2026 NBA Draft are viewed as near-locks by many executives:
Wizards: AJ Dybantsa
Jazz: Darryn Peterson
Grizzlies: Cam Boozer
Bulls: Caleb Wilson
Unless a shocking trade comes out of nowhere in the next three weeks, the draft truly begins at No. 5.
Thereβs a segment of Nets fans panicking about the possibility of Nate Ament for Brooklyn today.
Fit matters for a big board. Nate Ament was 11th for me on my general big board posted the other day. For a Brooklyn specific board, he would probably be #8 right now for me behind the big four, Keaton Wagler, Mikel Brown Jr., and Aday Mara, respectively.
Per @connor_long15
The Brooklyn Nets have growing interest in selecting Nate Ament (if available) with the #6 overall pick.
Sources have described Ament as a βpolarizing playerβ
Where does he rank in your Top 10 prospects?

Keaton Wagler, Darius Acuff Jr, Aday Mara, and Kingston Flemings are the names being seen the most at the #6 pick for the Brooklyn Nets.

Something that needs to be addressed before anything else.

The Thunder will look to salary dump Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins for draft compensation this summer to become apron-compliant.
Both players were out of Oklahoma Cityβs main rotation throughout the playoffs.
@USATODAY has the Brooklyn Nets selecting Keaton r out of Illinois with the #6 overall pick.
βHe projects as one of the best 3-point shooters in this class, hitting 39.7% from beyond the arc as a freshman and connecting on as many as nine 3-pointers in a game.β @USATODAY
A trade idea between the Warriors and Nets:
β’ Warriors
Michael Porter Jr.
Terance Mann
β’ Nets
Jimmy Butler
No. 11 overall pick
Golden State will likely explore deals utilizing Butlerβs $56.8M expiring contract to strengthen the roster this offseason.
