    Tre Johnson Will Likely be The 5th Pick

    I have this nagging feeling in the back of my head that there is something off with Ace. I cant point my finger on one thing and prove my point with solid arguments... but my gut says he is 2025 drafts overadvertized promiseware. Call me idiot all you want... but Id rather have Tre or VJ.

    Trade Lauri for The 3rd Pick

    Based on what? His back issues? If those are bad he may already be toast. If they arent bad, then in 3 years he is only 30 and looking at how fit he is physically its wild to suggest that timeline. Dirk played great till he was something like 36. He was a better handler and operated from the...

    Who should we pick at #5?

    Sounds like THT. He was also practicing all his shots all the time.

    Trade Lauri for The 3rd Pick

    I understand why this thread exists, but I hope everyone here also understands that we didnt lose a full year here. We will start next season with #5 pick on the roster (barring trades), so the quality and depth or our youth is gonna be better than it was when last season started.

    How bad/good is Cody Williams?

    He's too old for Mailman.

    2025 Playoffs Chat & Chill Thread

    After Tatum injury Knicks got all the pressure in the world and Celtics can play like true underdogs. Besides, the Celtics 3P barrage style of basketball is something that can give them the W even if they get outplayed (... and it can lose them games they should win as well).

    Trade Lauri for The 3rd Pick

    OKC is not in play. They dont have a role available thats worth 50M and their current top 3 guys (SGA, Jalen, Chet) are gonna eat their entire cap in few years and you cant add Lauri's salary on top of theirs without getting into world of apron hurt. I think they are only on the market to...

    Do you think Kerr benches him for 1 time violation? Dude sat out until Butler injury forced him back to rotation. Looking off a guy is disrespect. If JC looks off Cody thats one thing, but to look off Steph you gotta be a moron.

    What NBA franchise would you NOT trade the Jazz for?

    To be fair, "to be fair" is not part of your usual repertoire. I guess when discussing anything but your "favourite" team, your shtick doesnt get in the way.

    After the recent report that Kerr benched him for looking off Steph multiple times in their game against the Blazers, I want nothing to do with him. Even if he develops into a great offensive player, the kind of mindset you must have to look off the GOAT shooter is a massive red flag. I want...

    After Tatum injury I'm now rooting for Celtics to steal this series from NYK. Few years ago there was a media narrative that Celtics are better when only 1 of Tatum and Brown is playing, and if Celtics somehow pull the rabbit out of the hat here then that discussion is surely gonna reignite...

    What NBA franchise would you NOT trade the Jazz for?

    Milwaukee must be pretty high up there as well... as are Hawks.

    Tre Johnson Will Likely be The 5th Pick

    That is a picture of Giannis from NBA.com official draft prospect page. Dont know the exact date of the photo. That is the guy 13 teams passed.

    Following Potential 2025 Draftees

    Are you seriously comparing trade values for a guy who was on an expiring contract and half way out the door when he was traded to a guy who is under contract for 4 years? Pacers KNEW Siakam was gonna hit FA 5 months from the trade because Siakam didnt wanna do an extension as part of the trade...

    Us peasants have always had the need to believe in invisible forces greater than us that we can blame for our misfortunes. At least the modern versions of this phenomenon are better than what some cultures did back in the day... you know murdering human beings for better weather luck.

    Last 12 months we had a lot of people suggesting that we sell Lauri and others for cheap to "improve out pick". The only silver lining I see in this result is that at least we didnt do that.

    Has our future position gotten better, worse, or stayed the same since trading Rudy/Donovan?

    I dont know if the cutter is "before the trades" or "right after the trades". I think we sold pretty close to peak value and had we kept those two guys we may be looking at Mitchell as a pending FA right now. So if the cutter is pre-trade, you have to account for the timeline where we never...

    Which foundational pieces? Sengun, a defensively limited center who had 49.1% TS in these playoffs? Jalen Green who scored 13.3 PPG with 48.2% TS? Amen who is a very good defender but who cannot create off the dribble or shoot 3s or FTs? They finished with the 2nd seed yet the writing was on...
