I should have added that I get the growing sense Carr isn't going to be available past 11 or 12, or could got at 10, so the idea of trading back to land him looks less and less likely; AKA I think the list of guys I would be fine trading back for is shrinking by the day.

The one guy I still wouldn't hate who is falling a bit is Labaron Philon. You could trade back to probably 15+ and still get him imo.

Philon went back to Bammers with Amari Allen, I think

I do not think that's correct. I haven't seen any legit reporting that he went back.

Edit: This guy from No Ceilings has Philon on his post-withdrawal deadline big board:

I'd be surprised. If OKC is trading up to our spot it's probably for Mara or Yaxel.

I've seen Ament pretty consistently mocked to Milwaukee. Carr would be a fit here if they were keeping Giannis, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

GS needs to prepare for life after Steph. This pick is probably going to be a lead guard like Philon or Flemings/Burries if one of them falls.

If we trade back and Carr doesn't make it to 12, then it probably means that one of Flemings/Burries/Brown fell to 12. That would also be a win.

They cited an Alabama fan account lol. No actual reporters have said he withdrew from the draft.

Also if you go to that fan account, they have an exclusive with Amari Allen about returning to Bama but there is nothing on that page about Philon. So either the fan account jumped the gun on Philon and deleted the tweet or On3 got Allen and Philon mixed up lol.

Yaxel got like $10 million to go to Michigan last year. Carter Bryant got 4.8 million to play for the Spurs.

The league's proposed anti-tanking rule passed the board of governors vote. Interestingly, it only goes out to 2029.

Stein said he talked to a GM who said he would absolutely not trade any pick beyond 2029 because we have no idea what the rules will be.

Adam Silver's NBA.

Create a system which makes it more difficult to make trades for the teams in the 1st and 2nd apron, which tend to be the teams making a run for the playoffs.

Then create a draft lottery system that reduces the certainty of how those draft picks might be used.

Top it off with having no changes in flopping, and being OK with players selling calls.

Pretty surprised on the timing there. I wonder if the Mavs were looking elsewhere, or if he had no interest in coming back to Dallas.

Great hire for the Magic.

Rumor is he's a Disney adult. Where that rumor came from no one knows.
