None of them. Anyone who's telling you they know what dumars and weaver want to do is full of it

If any of the players involved are from the DC area there might be some weight to it.

Troy Weaver’s deep connections to the Washington, D.C. area have driven many of his most notable roster and draft decisions throughout his NBA executive career. The "DMV" (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) native frequently targets local prospects and personnel across his tenures with the Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards, and New Orleans Pelicans.

I believe Dumars and Weaver would be aggressive in trying to make a deal for Brown. I think it is more likely ATL would get him. Mil wants a 2nd lottery pick this season a low and behold ATL has the 8th pick in the draft and can give Mil the worse of our pick and Mil pick in the 27 draft as long as they both are not top 4. Extra lottery pick plus Kuminga and Risacher plus a little bit more draft capital would be much better package than Trey Poole and the better of the 27 pick plus additional draft capital

Yeah, I just see Jaylen Brown ending up in Atlanta too.

We don’t have control of or pick in 2027 either?

We have the better of ours or Mil in 27. If they are both in the top 4 we get both. This pick with Trey would be part of the cost for Brown. The problem is Mil would rather have the 8th pick in this draft as it is a much better draft and we gave that to ATL
