The pool is so deep that it\u2019s hard to get it wrong.<\/p>\n<p>With that being said, there isn\u2019t a bigger safety net than actually picking first. When you\u2019re on the clock at No. 1, the board bends to you, not the other way around. That is why, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketballnetwork.net\/tag\/brian-windhorst\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Brian Windhorst;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link\">Brian Windhorst<\/a>, every single one of the 30 NBA franchises is willing to shell out a considerable amount of dough if that\u2019s what it takes to secure it.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading\"><strong>Nine digits for the No. 1 pick?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Anyone out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketballnetwork.net\/tag\/darryn-peterson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Darryn Peterson;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link\">Darryn Peterson<\/a>, Cam Boozer, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketballnetwork.net\/tag\/aj-dybantsa\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:AJ Dybantsa;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link\">AJ Dybantsa<\/a> can be a franchise-changing piece. However, picking first means you can address a need without sacrificing talent.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the Washington Wizards do not need a big man like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketballnetwork.net\/tag\/cameron-boozer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Boozer;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link\">Boozer<\/a> because they recently acquired Anthony Davis, and Alex Sarr is figuring things out. Putting another mouth to feed in the roster might stall the development of Sarr or Tristan Vukcevic, if they intend to keep the 7-footer beyond his two-way deal.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The same can be said of the other 29 teams, which explains why they won\u2019t hesitate to spend nine figures to secure top-tier talent who fills a glaring hole on the roster.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI had an executive tell me the No. 1 pick is worth $100 million,\u201d<\/em> Windhorst <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/37W5XApeNwE?list=PLu1neCd4swuakibtwr6887z4D8YH3YUnK&amp;t=489\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:told;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link\">told<\/a> Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon on \u201cThe Hoop Collective.\u201d <em>\u201cThat if you gave the opportunity to buy that pick, teams would pay a hundred million dollars for it. So, keep that in mind when the Jazz were fined $500,000.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, Windy was referring to the NBA\u2019s sanctioning of Utah for half a million dollars because of how they approached a game against the Miami Heat (which they won, by the way). The Jazz sat down three of their five starters in the final quarter, raising eyebrows from the league office.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The word was that the Oklahoma City Thunder <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/planting-stories-okc-thunder-allegedly-202138397.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:used their so-called \u201cback channels\u201d;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">used their so-called \u201cback channels\u201d<\/a> to bring this to the NBA\u2019s attention, and they succeeded.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the point was that the Jazz could not care less. $500,000 is a lot of money for most people, but it is chump change for a franchise valued at over $4 billion. Any team would kill for a chance to have the first crack at the 2026 goldmine, and if the price to pay is $100 million, so be it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading\"><strong>Rookie free agents?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Obviously, that scenario will never happen. If it does, Steve Ballmer will just outbid everyone, which makes the whole thing even more unfair than it already is.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of parity and fairness, some NBA personalities floated the idea of making rookies free agents. The draft will be gone, and so will the lottery. Every team bids for the services of a certain player within their salary cap situation.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf you want to go give Cooper Flagg $45 million per year coming out of college, do it. He\u2019s a free agent. Everybody coming out is a free agent.

That said, it highlights the value of elite young talent in today\u2019s NBA economy. Whether it\u2019s scrapping the draft altogether or paying a hypothetical nine-figure fee for the No. 1 pick, teams want to control their future.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Which brings us back to Windy\u2019s point: When NBA front office executives discreetly place a $100 million value on a single draft slot, it tells you everything you need to know about the quality of the 2026 class.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/dirty-little-secret-everybody-knows-032300748.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: &quot;It's the dirty little secret that everybody knows about&quot; - High-ranking NBA Executive exposes the league's biggest problem;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: &#8220;It&#8217;s the dirty little secret that everybody knows about&#8221; &#8211; High-ranking NBA Executive exposes the league&#8217;s biggest problem<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>This story was originally published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketballnetwork.net\/latest-news\/brian-windhorst-reveals-why-nba-executives-are-desperate-to-secure-the-2026-no-1-draft-pick\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Basketball Network;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link\">Basketball Network<\/a> on Feb 21, 2026, where it first appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketballnetwork.net\/latest-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Latest News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link\">Latest News<\/a> section.
