The No. 1 pick in this year's draft belongs to the Detroit Pistons, and it is widely believed that they will use this pick to draft Cade Cunningham , although both Evan Mobley and Jaylen Green are thought to be the Top picks for picks. While most teams won't easily trade a No. 1 pick, it's good for teams to consider all of their options before deciding what to do with the No. 1 pick.
The most recent trade rumor is that the Golden State Warriors and Detroit Pistons struck a deal for the No. 1 pick.
Golden State Warriors get: No. 1 overall pick
Detroit Pistons get: James Wiseman, Nos. 7 and 14
The deal revolves around James Wiseman, who was the second overall pick last season rookie. It's clear he has potential and skills, despite not having enough experience when he enters the NBA. It seems that the reason behind this trade is to bring a potential player like Cade Cunningham to the Warriors while giving the Detroit Pistons more development potential. The deal will be said to depend on how the Detroit Pistons view James Wiseman.
That's not a bad offer, especially since the Pistons, in the 2020 draft, have an idea for Wiseman. However, Wiseman's rookie season didn't get a big round of applause, and whether the Pistons still think the deal is viable.
I do think Detroit considered this deal, but I don't think they would. I think the top three players at this level (Cunningham, Green, and Evan Mobley) have the edge over Wiseman. Also, the selection of Nos. 7 and 14 did not push enough.
It remains to be seen whether this deal will go through, but overall, the Warriors appear to offer a solid number one pick trade opportunity.
Many believe the Warriors should maximize Stephen Curry while looking to the future: this potential deal will make that happen.
