Draymond Green has often taken an active role in the Golden State Warriors' draft preparations and offered Bob Myers early endorsements of the two players the team ultimately would select on Thursday. The Warriors selected Jonathan Kuminga at No. 7 and Moses Moody at No. 4.

“He texted me after the third or fourth pick and said, ‘Kuminga,'” Myers shared during his post-draft news conference. “And I said, ‘We’ll see if he’s there.'”

Green texted Myers from Tokyo again a few minutes later.

“At about the ninth pick he said ‘Moody,'” Myers said.

“And I said, ‘I don’t think he’s going to be there.'”

The Warriors now plan on adding more veterans via free agency.

Before eventually agreeing to a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans ahead of the draft, the Memphis Grizzlies were in serious talks with the Sacramento Kings on a similar deal, according to Brian Windhorst on The Hoop Collective Podcast. 

The Grizzlies would have sent Jonas Valanciunas to the Kings for the No. 9 pick in the draft and Marvin Begley Jr.

Memphis instead traded up with the Pelicans at No. 10 while also taking back Steven Adams and Eric Bledsoe. New Orleans acquired Valanciunas as part of the deal.

Sacramento used the No. 9 pick on Davion Mitchell. 

The Indiana Pacers have traded Aaron Holiday and No. 31 to the Washington Wizards for the No. 22 draft pick used on Isaiah Jackson.

Holiday was a first round pick in 2018 out of UCLA and averaged 7.2 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 17.8 minutes per game last season for the Pacers. 

The Houston Rockets traded two first round picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for No. 16 to select Alperen Sengun. 

The picks are a 2022 first rounder from the Detroit Pistons and a 2023 first rounder from the Washington Wizards. 

The Milwaukee Bucks have traded the No. 31 pick to the Indiana Pacers for No. 54, No. 60 and two future second round picks.

The Bucks acquired the first pick of the second round as part of the P.J. Tucker trade as they sent No. 24 to the Houston Rockets.

The Detroit Pistons selected Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick after a long period of deliberation. The Houston Rockets followed at No. 2 by picking Jalen Green while Evan Mobley rounded out the top-3 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to trade Landry Shamet to the Phoenix Suns for Jevon Carter and the 29th pick.

The Nets acquired Shamet from the Los Angeles Clippers last offseason. 

Monty Williams previously coached Shamet during his rookie season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Shamet averaged 9.3 points on 38.7 percent shooting on three-pointers during his lone season with the Nets. 

Shamet is eligible for an extension this offseason or he will become a restricted free agent in 2022.

The Houston Rockets are trending towards selecting Jalen Green at No. 2 with the Cleveland Cavaliers then selecting Evan Mobley at No. 3.

The Detroit Pistons have settled on Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick.

Cunningham, Green and Mobley have become the clear consensus top-3 during the draft process. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers have received significant interest from teams trading for the third overall pick and while the team is listening to offers, sources tell the Cleveland Plain Dealer that it would take a "Godfather" offer to move out of the slot.

Cade Cunningham is expected to go first to the Detroit Pistons, followed by Jalen Green to the Houston Rockets, which will make Mobley available to Cleveland. 

The Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City are motivated to move up to No. 3 from slots No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 respectively. 

The Cavaliers do have interest in adding a second pick in the top-10, though that would likely cost them Collin Sexton, Larry Nance Jr. or a 2022 first rounder. 

The Detroit Pistons have decided to select Cade Cunningham with the first overall pick in Thursday's draft.

The Pistons also considered Jalen Green and Evan Mobley as well as various draft offers.

The Houston Rockets will select second followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers at No. 3.

Cunningham has widely been considered the best prospect in the draft though there isn't a definitive consensus with some believing the draft has three players who would be a No. 1 caliber pick in most years.

The Pistons met with Cunningham a final time on Wednesday to finalize their decision. While trade offers continue to be made, the Pistons intend to select Cunningham if they keep the pick for themselves.
