The Warriors are set to add a new potential star in October after receiving the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft.

But in the 2020 NBA blogosphere every player, pick and dollar in cap space is viewed as an asset.

Before Thursday night’s draft lottery, some fans and analysts were discussing the trade value of the pick without knowing where it’d slot in. Now that the value is known, it’s time to speculate even more wildly.

Earlier in the day, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks erased their surprising 1-0 deficit to the Orlando Magic in their first round matchup. If the Bucks had somehow dropped a second shocker, the wishful calculations  lowballing Milwaukee’s asking price for their reigning MVP would have grown even louder.

Trade demands from the Warriors’ fans also belie another problem: Draftniks haven’t identified this year’s class as particularly strong. It’s fairly widely agreed among scouts that there’s no clear generational talent in this group. So why not dream of what the 2020 second pick, plus Minnesota’s 2021 first-rounder and a couple players might bring in return for the Warriors?

By the time Steph Curry takes the court again in a regular-season game, he will have played five games in the last year and a half. Draymond Green will have played 43 and Klay Thompson will have sat out competitive basketball entirely.

Fans watching NBA bubble ball this summer might dream of prying Devin Booker and the four remaining years of his contract from the Phoenix Suns (would the NBA have to fine Green again for tampering?). Joel Embiid sure looked unhappy coming out of that Sixers game Wednesday night, and Philly appears poised for a reboot.

What might be more reasonable — not to say whether it’s likely — is a serious push to add Washington’s Bradley Beal and slide Thompson to shooting guard. But haven’t we seen that before, when the plan blew up before it began?

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, as well sourced as national NBA reporters come, said during the network’s draft lottery show that the Warriors are open to trading the pick. But on a post-lottery conference call, Myers signaled patience.

“A lot of people are talking about trades,” Myers said on a post-lottery conference call. “The first thing we have to do is rank our board.”
