    Official "How Could We Trade Up" Thread

    I really think the NBA wants Giannis in San Antonio to form a super team with Wemby that will garner international viewing interest.

    Official "How Could We Trade Up" Thread

    Assuming Ace and VJ are left on the board at 4 I could see the Hornets and Jazz swapping spots for a small price. Hornets already drafted Brandon Miller so I could see them preferring VJ over Ace. If Ace gets past the 3rd pick I believe there's a fairly decent chance the Jazz can get him. If...

    Following Potential 2025 Draftees

    I'm hoping for Ace or even Maluach at this point. They desperately need someone with length who possesses some skill. I'm assuming Lauri is not here long term. Last night's lottery result was the nail in the coffin for that outcome. I get what they were trying to do with the Hendricks and...

    Trade Lauri for The 3rd Pick

    Agreed this team now has zero chance to compete during Lauri's timeline. I'd be fine if they basically start from scratch by drafting #3 and #5. I imagine they would probably need to take back the PG contract in such a deal? With Dallas at #1 and the Spurs at #2 either one of those teams...

    Who should we pick at #5?

    What a major disappointment. Anyway I think they somehow end up with Ace. Either he falls or they trade up a slot or two. Ainge basically started the Celtic rebuild drafting two SFs/big wings in Brown and Tatum.

    Mock draft lottery using tankathon

    The Spurs getting Flagg ruins it so I'd gamble on landing the top pick. Actually I'm probably fine tonight as long as Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, or Portland do not land Flagg.

    2025 Playoffs Chat & Chill Thread

    Yikes.. Looks like Don might not be getting out of the 2nd round of the playoffs yet again.

    Who would you rather keep, Lauri Markkanen or John Collins? (Please read scenario)

    Depends on the return tbh. Obviously Lauri is better in a vacuum but if they can land a premium FRP + prospect they could consider dealing him I would assume. Locke certainly seems to believe they will be "tanking" again next season so it doesn't really make sense to worry too much about...

    Cody Williams Hype and Appreciation Thread

    Disagree strongly. I would take any of the next 14 guys picked after Cody from that draft: 10. Jazz draft Cody Williams (Colorado) 11. Bulls draft Matas Buzelis (G League Ignite) 12. Thunder draft Nikola Topic (KK Crvena Zvezda) 13. Kings draft Devin Carter (Providence) 14. Trail Blazers...

    Jazz Dropped The Ball on JHS

    He's apparently only signed to a 2 way for the remainder of the season and the Sixers have tax apron issues. Jazz could potentially sign him in the offseason if they really want. I'm a little wary of guys putting up numbers on a tanking team at the end of the season. I did like him ahead of...

    2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

    He's expensive and they just drafted another SF with the #1 pick in the draft last June?

    2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

    Even before last night's injury I was thinking Sexton probably doesn't get traded this deadline. I read that article a few weeks back about the bond between Collin and Collier. They grew up in the same area of ATL and youngster Collier looked up to Sexton and watched him play HS basketball...

    Does John Collins Get Traded?

    Maybe there's a chance he ends up back in ATL. They are 2-8 the last 10 games and Jalen Johnson is out for the season. Sadly the Spurs own their FRP. Collins back to ATL makes a lot of sense and I'd donate Clarkson if it helps get their season back on track.

    Dallas trading Luka to the Lakers for Anthony Davis! Utah involved.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he opts out this offseason and gets a s&t to either the Mavs or Warriors.

    2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

    Meh, I personally wouldn't want Fox as my PG either. Sabonis is nice but the Kangz were ridiculously stupid and shortsighted when they dealt Haliburton.
