With three new owners entering the league, taking over for LAC, TOR, and DAL, we had our largest dispersal draft ever! Here were the results and as you can see, there were some huge pieces to draft. Victor Wembanyama! Giannis Antetokounmpo! Scottie Pippen! [ Dispersal Draft 2024 ]
DAL Hank
Dallas quietly had a smart, balanced dispersal. They didn’t chase youth or volume — they built a team that could win now. Starting with Franz Wagner, Paul George, and Kyrie Irving, the Mavs prioritized floor-spacing and star power. They doubled down with Josh Hart, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Jerami Grant, creating a deep, positionally flexible core. Even their later picks — Leonard Miller, Julian Strawther, and Kyle Anderson — scream playoff rotation minutes. And don’t overlook the draft capital: Dallas walked away with 2025 TOR RD1, 2025 LAC RD2 (pick 52), 2026 OKC RD2, and 2029 IND RD2. No flashy franchise centerpiece here, but a rock-solid competitive roster with pick flexibility to chase bigger moves later.
LAC Zack
The Clippers opened with a bang, selecting Victor Wembanyama #1 overall and building out from there with length, defense, and versatile wings. They nabbed Brandon Ingram at 2 and Rob Dillingham at 4, giving them a dynamic scoring combo to pair with Wemby’s generational presence. Jaime Jaquez, Naji Marshall, Jordan Miller, and Quinten Post add toughness and glue-guy utility, while Ryan Dunn gives them a defensive specialist with All-Defense potential. The Clips also collected a 2025 2nd rounder (pick 31) and snagged Jalen Bridges, Keshad Johnson, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl late — all playable forwards. This is a team with a clear identity and enormous long-term upside. While they didn’t walk away with a boatload of picks like Toronto, landing Wemby sets their ceiling in the stratosphere.
TOR Sean
Toronto came into the dispersal with a clean slate and walked away with a franchise-altering haul. Landing Giannis Antetokounmpo and Domantas Sabonis at picks 1 and 2 instantly injected elite frontcourt talent and veteran leadership into the roster. But they didn’t stop there — Dejounte Murray brings All-Star-level guard play, and Matas Buzelis gives them a high-upside developmental wing. Toronto also snagged Patrick Williams, Jalen Wilson, and Precious Achiuwa, three young forwards with rotational upside, plus some deep cuts like David Duke and Amir Coffey. The kicker? They added four future draft picks — including 2025 firsts from LAC and TOR, and second-rounders from TOR, MEM, and SAS. That mix of All-NBA talent, young contributors, and draft capital makes Toronto the clear winner, both short and long-term.
