This is situational based. Miami can't get a foot in if there isn't some luck on their side. Okc has to lose and have giannis scratched off their list. Either by him going to a new team NOT named spurs or okc this summer or he can stay 1 more season then move on to any team in 26-27. Okc bites that boston/gsw tax bill to make sure they don't mess up a potential dynasty. Haywood highsmith on a resign in 26-27 would be cheaper per year then a dort or Caruso.

Only way philly moves off pg is if they package the 3rd pick. They don't have their 26/27 picks to include instead. Getting their own 2026 back gives them the ability tot tank in a wing draft to add to Maxey and McCain. Giving them the financial out on pg while building their future (not including embid) will cost them that 2028 lac 1st

Spurs will have to extend fox and in 26-27 pay wemby. Devin vassell contract per isn't bad but the years pose a problem longterm. They swap devin for herro, whose an expiring in 26-27 they can let him walk. The flip of barnes for Caruso locks in their guardplay and has them choose ace Bailey and Carter bryant at #2 and 14, they currently have no wings.

Miami goes harper at 3, Maxime reyanud at 20, and tank for 2026 for a wing at the top of the draft
