The Memphis Grizzlies Get the 3rd Pick in the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery | iTalkHoops

Hope is back in Memphis. After three long painful years — the suspensions, the injuries, the locker room drama, the 25-57 season — the Memphis Grizzlies walked into the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery tonight and walked out with the third overall pick. I told you what to watch for on lottery night. And when the Sacramento Kings came up at number seven instead of Memphis — that was the signal. We jumped. The rebuild just got real. The full lottery order: Washington Wizards Utah Jazz Memphis Grizzlies 🎰 Chicago Bulls LA Clippers (via Pacers) Brooklyn Nets Sacramento Kings Atlanta Hawks (via Pelicans) Dallas Mavericks Milwaukee Bucks Golden State Warriors OKC Thunder (via Clippers) Miami Heat Charlotte Hornets Memphis also picks 16th and 32nd in this draft. Three picks. No bad contracts. A slew of first round picks from multiple teams. The largest trade exception in NBA history. And the Ja Morant trade still to come. This is not guaranteed to be the next Wembanyama or Cooper Flagg. We need to see summer league. We need to see year one. But that is not the point right now. The point is that Grizzlies fans have something they have not had in two years — a direction. Something to point to and say this is where we are going. Zach Edey. Cedric Coward. Pick three. That is the foundation. Utah badly wants AJ Dybantsa at two. What does Washington do at one? Does Darryn Peterson fall? Does Caleb Wilson fall to Memphis? Does Cameron Boozer end up in a Grizzlies uniform? The next six weeks are going to be the biggest smokescreen season in recent draft memory. And we will be here covering every rumor every move every workout. Happy Mother's Day Grizz Nation. Hug your mother. She might not know why you are so happy today — but you do. 🔔 Subscribe — the next video breaks down every option Memphis has at pick three. 💬 Who do you want Memphis to take?

The LA Lakers Should NOT Trade Their Two 1st Round Picks For Mediocre Role Players | iTalkHoops

#nba #losangeleslakers #lebronjames https://twitter.com/MemphisX_NBA Maybe someday there will be a clear-eyed explanation for why the Lakers decided to push in for Russell Westbrook, to trust their stars’ desires for another All-NBA type instead of a more minor alteration in the form of Buddy Hield. Maybe it was just a short-sighted grab at more firepower. Maybe it was about asserting power and appeasing superstars. Or maybe it was just a flat-out mistake, a gamble that quickly hit bust. It’s all sort of irrelevant now as the Lakers stare a massive decision in the face. Do they really want to come into training camp with Westbrook on their team or are they willing to pay a steep cost to try to undo it? In conversations with executives from rival teams in both conferences, it’s clear what the cost for any deal is going to be. It will take at least one first-round pick to park Westbrook somewhere and a second first-round pick to bring back multiple rotation pieces, sources with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly said. Those prices could rise (possibly with pick swaps) or lower (bad contracts coming back to the Lakers) depending on variables. Houston Rockets' Russell Westbrook, right, is fouled by Los Angeles Clippers' Patrick Beverley LAKERS Why do Lakers fans think Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook hate each other? Aug. 25, 2022 One of those variables, Donovan Mitchell’s status with the Utah Jazz, removed itself Thursday when the Jazz reportedly swung a surprise deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, sending Mitchell to LeBron James’ old team for a trio of young players and first-round picks. It formalized what many around the NBA have viewed as the two most viable paths for the Lakers to improve now. Either the Lakers up their offers in pursuit of a trade centered on Myles Turner and Hield in Indiana or they turn their sights back to the Jazz to try to pick the bones of a former contender thrust into a rebuild. A deal with the Jazz and the Lakers can make a lot of sense for both parties. The teams have already worked together this offseason on the Patrick Beverley-Talen Horton-Tucker deal. The Lakers have future draft assets and a need for more quality role players, which makes the Jazz seem like the right spot to look for a redo on the Westbrook trade.

The Miami Heat Are Going To Need A Serious Upgrade To Contend For The 2023 NBA Title | iTalkHoops

#nba #miamiheat #2023NBAPlayoffs Following a swift first-round playoff exit in 2021, the Heat brought in a handful of hard-nosed players with championship experience, completing a sign-and-trade deal for Kyle Lowry, using most of their mid-level exception on P.J. Tucker, and signing Markieff Morris to a minimum-salary contract. At the same time, Miami bet on young players like Gabe Vincent and Max Strus being ready for bigger roles after spending the 2020/21 season on two-way deals with the team. While not every one of the Heat’s offseason moves paid huge dividends – a neck injury cost Morris most of the season and he wasn’t part of the playoff rotation – the club’s strategy was a good one on the whole. Lowry, Tucker, Vincent, and Strus all played key roles in complementing All-Stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo and Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro, while other youngsters like Caleb Martin and Omer Yurtseven proved their worth on minimum-salary contracts. Miami’s deep, well-balanced squad earned the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed with a 53-29 regular season record, then won a pair of playoff series over Atlanta and Philadelphia. Unfortunately, by the time the Eastern Conference Finals tipped off, the Heat’s roster was incredibly banged up, with Lowry in particular limited due to a hamstring injury that sidelined him for eight playoff contests. The club didn’t have enough left in the tank to get by the Celtics, losing to Boston in a seven-game battle that went right down to the wire. While the Heat fell short of a title, you could make a case that their roster was championship-caliber, or at least very close to it. If a couple plays had gone a little differently, it might’ve been Miami and not Boston that represented the East in the NBA Finals. The front office’s task this offseason will be determining how best to keep the Heat at that championship level and then to find the missing piece that could help put them over the top. The Heat’s Offseason Plan: The Heat have five players on guaranteed contracts for 2022/23. Of those players, it’s safe to assume Butler and Adebayo aren’t going anywhere. That’s less of a sure thing for Lowry, Herro, and Duncan Robinson. https://twitter.com/MemphisX_NBA Intro Performed by https://twitter.com/Keila_Grandz Bubble ( Instrumental ) by KeyAno Beats https://soundcloud.com/keyanobeats is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
