I was team Oden, I don't mind admitting it. I didn't know about his injury concerns with his one leg being longer

than the other, but had he stayed healthy he would have been a dominant player in the NBA. A 7'0" with skill, agility, and tons of athleticism. He reminded me of a more modern Lew Alcindor. But obviously in hindsight Durant was the right the guy and he would have gone #1 in probably 90% of drafts.

A better question than this one

Giannis, Jokic, Curry...

Ya I think I got to 5. Milwaukee says no for Giannis, Dallas says no for Luka

I think GSW would trade Curry for Wemby. Curry is 34 and Wemby is 18.

They can’t trade Curry…sure it’s makes sense strictly on paper due to age

Then Bob Myers wouldn’t be doing what’s in the long term best interest of the

I think there’s an argument that he is, fans would be pissed if he traded Curry

What if Steph tears an ACL and is never the same? Or just starts to show his age

No one is going to be upset about not trading Curry, even if he tears his acl

Ja and maybe zion

You wouldn’t trade an all-NBA player for a #1 pick

Wembanyama isn't just any #1 pick. He is considered a generational pick.

Maybe superstar is a better way to put it

Giannis, Jokic, Curry, Doncic, Embiid, Ja, but I think there are others. I don't think Phoenix trades Booker

Suns wouldn’t because James Jones doesn’t believe in prospects, but they should

I can see why certain teams wouldn't trade certain players for #1.

You take guys you know are already good over guys who might end up good. For every Lebron James there is a can't

Wiggins had faded by the time the draft rolled around. He still went 1

Wiggins faded a bit mostly because he wasn't that good in college. Had he come straight from High School he

The team seems to be blowing up anyways…this is probably their last shot

I think you are discounting Oden. He was seen as a generational player. I mean he played left handed in college and

I very well could be, I was on a mission and completely missed his prospect days

I didn’t see Oden until 08-09 and he had already been hurt.

I saw him in a game in Vegas at an AAU tournament. It featured 7 future NBA players and to say he was dominant would

That’s a good way to look at it. I think you’d see Giannis and Luka picked first

PHXSUNS31

10/6/22 4:24pm

Giannis and Luka. Especially when you consider cost and team control.

10/6/22 4:25pm

FWIW, Bill Simmons said 4(Giannis, Luka, Jokic, Curry)

PHXSUNS31

Embiid and Ja are interesting. Embiid gets hurt too often and then doesn't get it done in the playoffs
