What it would take for Giannis to land with the Heat

Miami Heat mailbag explains that a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade could be discussed before the NBA draft but can’t be finalized until after the draft if it involves Miami’s 2026 No. 13 pick, due to league rules about not being without a first-round pick in consecutive years. The Heat could frame a deal ahead of draft and later finalize it, potentially offering three first-rounders plus multiple pick swaps (including 2030 and 2032 picks). Competing teams aren’t out, and Giannis’s preference and potential long-term commitment will influence the outcome. The Heat also aim to upgrade and avoid the play-in next season.

Six NFL teams hold two first-round picks after trade spree

After the Bengals traded their first-round pick to the Giants for Dexter Lawrence II, six teams now have two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL draft: Giants No. 5 and No. 10 (the Bengals' picks), Dolphins No. 11 and No. 30 (Broncos' picks), Jets No. 2 and No. 16 (Sauce Gardner trade), Cowboys No. 12 and No. 20 (Packers' picks), Chiefs No. 9 and No. 29 (Rams' picks), Browns No. 6 and No. 24 (Jaguars' picks). The Raiders' second-pick trade fell through, leaving six teams without a first-round pick; all teams with two picks missed the playoffs last season and hope the extra selections jump-start their rebuilds.

Cowboys land eight picks in 2026 NFL Draft after trades

Dallas now owns eight selections in the 2026 NFL Draft after trading Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers and Solomon Thomas to the Titans: two first-rounders (12th and 20th overall), a 3rd (92nd), a 4th (112th), three 5th-rounders (152nd, 177th compensatory, 180th compensatory), and a 7th (218th). Previous moves included trading a 2025 3rd to the Steelers for George Pickens and sending a 2026 2nd to the Jets for Quinnen Williams, with the Thomas trade swapping 7th-round picks (218 vs. 225). This marks the Cowboys’ return to having two first-round picks for the first time since 2008, ahead of the 2026 Draft in Pittsburgh (April 23-25).

Ravens swing for Crosby, signaling a win-now reset

Baltimore pulled off a blockbuster deal, sending its 14th overall pick and a 2027 first-rounder to Las Vegas for star edge rusher Maxx Crosby, signaling an urgent win-now push after Harbaugh’s firing. Crosby’s elite pass rush fills a long-standing need, but the trade carries risks—including injury history, cap implications, and the challenge of reshaping the roster around a new regime and quarterback.

Raiders Enter Elite Club With Two First-Round Picks in 2026 Draft

Five teams — the Raiders, Jets, Browns, Chiefs and Cowboys — now own two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL draft after a series of trades that added extra first-round selections; the Raiders hold Nos. 1 and 14 (Ravens’ pick) following the Maxx Crosby deal, the Jets have Nos. 2 and 16 (Colts’ pick), the Browns Nos. 6 and 24 (Jaguars’ pick), the Chiefs Nos. 9 and 29 (Rams’ pick), and the Cowboys Nos. 12 and 20 (Packers’ pick). Five other teams have no first-round picks: Falcons, Ravens, Colts, Packers and Jaguars. The two-pick clubs are rebuilding after missed playoffs, aiming to use the extra selections as building blocks.

Pacers land Zubac in blockbuster center swap with Clippers

Indiana trades Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, two first-round picks (one 2026 protected 1-4 and 10-30; if not conveyed, an unprotected 2031 first) and a 2029 unprotected first, plus a second, to the Clippers to land Ivica Zubac and Kobe Brown. The move gives Indiana a much-needed center upgrade ahead of Tyrese Haliburton’s return, while Zubac (under contract through 2027-28) averages about 14.4 points and 11.0 rebounds this season and Mathurin is set to be an RFA this offseason.

Jazz land Jaren Jackson Jr., kick off rebuild with big draft haul

Memphis sent Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Vince Williams Jr. and Jock Landale to Utah for Walter Clayton, Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang, and three future first-round picks (Lakers’ 2027 top-four protected; the most favorable 2027 pick from Cavaliers/Wolves/Jazz; Suns’ 2031 unprotected). Memphis also creates a near $28.9 million traded player exception and adds substantial draft capital, signaling a rebuild as Utah positions a future frontcourt around Markkanen, Kessler, and Jackson. Jackson is on a four-year, $205 million extension, and Utah’s payroll rises this season as they aim to be competitive next year.
