Disappointed. If you can't get a late first why trade? Just take Fleming who was projected as a 1st if you can't get one. And if you are negotiating you wait up until the end to do deal as then teams become desperate.

Penda could make it there, or we grab a ball handler.

I like it.

Does TC trade 36 for 2 more future 2nds. I could see one more trade

Oh well, TC decided Fleming’s skills, et al, did not fit the Wolves needs and/or culture.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps trading back and accumulates 13 or 14 future 2nd rounders…

Boooo

TC and his staff know Fleming better than we do. There are reasons a player with Fleming’s physical attributes and college production fall into the second round. I like getting a couple future second round picks to add a bit to our otherwise pretty barren draft cupboard. I hope at least one of them is in 2027 when we have no picks. We can still get a talented prospect at #36.

basically a repeat of last year only we don't have Wendell Moore Jr. to dump

Wouldn’t surprise me. How about #36 for a future unprotected 1st?

the unprotected first talk is pretty much off the table unless Joe Dumars gets to a phone

The Wolves trade pick No. 31 for pick No. 36, a '26 2nd (lesser of DEN/GSW) and a '32 2nd (better of PHX/HOU), per source.
