Why is this even a report?

Likely #1 draft pick meets with teams that might draft him.

Team with #1 pick also met with other players.

This is how the draft works.

Thanks for the clicks.

Also teams use this opportunity just to meet the guy and form a relationship even if there’s zero chance of drafting him. You never know what will pay dividends in free agency years down the line

They did. You should build relationships with all the top prospects. Makes trades easier.

I’d still ask if I was Washington. Actually I’d just schedule an annual meeing with them to ask for that for wahtever top pick I got. Maybe one time someone will have bumped their head and I’ll get lucky.

I mean if some team makes a mistake and gives up big young assets for Kyrie they could flip those. I imagine the Wizards will listen to anything.

The 1st pick in this draft is 100% off the table for any draft pick less than 2. Literally to move up 1 spot Jazz need to give up Ace Bailey and a future FRP

Worst kept secret is how badly the Jazz want him, so I’m curious how far they’re willing to go to get him. Especially if Washington decides they’re fine with Peterson or Boozer

Utah should be ecstatic they even managed to get the 2nd pick.

trying to acquire the 1st pick would just be greedy af.

“Greedy” is Danny Ainge’s middle name.

Afraid-Department-35 | Mavericks

I don’t think it’s greedy, it’s more of a mutual fit. AJ wants to be in Utah and he’ll fit like a glove with the Jazz. Plus Ace never wanted to be a Jazz in the first place (I think he wanted to be a Wizard) but they still took him and now he’s a pretty lucrative trade piece since the Wizards wanted Ace as well. DP, Ace and a protected frp for AJ probably gets the trade done and everyone is happy. Only way this falls apart is if the Wizards gets too greedy and asks for more.

ianbits | Cavaliers

They should be fine with Boozer imo. Sarr has the potential to be the perfect defensive pairing with him, and he seems close to making the leap. Puts Boozer in a perfect spot to be an offensive engine, it’s a great long term duo.

If i’m wizards i would bank in on that greed, Utah owners are deeply connected with AJ and it’s clear they will move assets

i’d easily take Cam Boozer + the 1st round pick for next year for AJ

Parallel-Quality

Utah’s first next year isn’t worth much since they will likely make the playoffs now that they’ve been prevented from tanking.

They have a legit squad even before you add their pick from this upcoming draft.

And next year’s draft is reportedly extremely weak as well.

I could see Washington wanting Petersen anyways. If they do, they should just move a spot back for some future capital and like Sensabaugh or Collier. No reason to get greedy and ask for Ace. I for one wouldn’t have faulted a team for taking Petersen at one. Let alone trading back for value and taking him at 2.

Silent-Frame1452 | Jazz

More “somehow exaggerated” more than “worst kept secret”. Sure the team would love to get AJ but jumping to 2 is already a huge win and a chance to get a similar talent in Peterson or Boozer for free.

Danny Ainge doesn’t have history of massively overpaying and he ain’t going to start now. The 2027 FRP is the most I can see us doing.

I’ve also gotta imagine this is critical for their scouting to see how their own boards line up, where they think these players will end up in the future, etc.

That would be a home run for the Wizards if they really like Boozer and/or Peterson. Honestly even just getting Bailey and the 2nd pick would be nice
