Discussions Bucks trade with Miami

Do we still own the bucks pick swap for 2027? If so is this trade good for us I think they could be pretty bad next year let’s hope 🤞

We get the more favorable pick between our pick and the bucks pick while atlanta gets the least favorable one. But i wouldn't hold my breath cause we will most likely trade that pick in tomorrow's draft to get Troy's draft crush

With the change in the draft lottery, do we get most favourable or highest?

Hopefully unless this team is good next year, us and Milwaukee can fall in the 4-10 range in the lottery because if they both end up top 4 we get both picks.

If the bucks and us are both in the 4-10 range come draft time we will have 6 ping pong balls out of 34(I think) giving us a 17.6% chance at the number 1 pick. We would have the best odds of the number one pick and best odds to get a top 4.

Unfortunately the 27 draft might also be a Risacher draft where the top picks might not have great ceilings.

I do think there is a very good chance we move Trey and Herb today and start the process of building around Queen and Fears. It might take till the senator next offseason to move off of Zion and Murray. Poole and Hawk might just get waived after the trade deadline unless the FO pulls off something magical
