This also reportedly includes the 2026 unprotected Suns pick... Would love to work out a trade with them for it if they're just retooling with Ja

Maybe I've been too pessemistic about Lauri's value. I think the Indiana "that could be us" effect may lead to some expensive payouts View: https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1934266665035841856?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Anyone have any lottery draft pick trade predictions/rumors? Seems like this draft has some of the most available lottery picks I can remember in a draft that people are generally OK/high on. As deeply as I want a PG/#3 for Lauri/#21/2027 Lakers/young-guy I just don't think the 76ers would move...

Good podcast, genuinely my preferred source for jazz news as I don't keep up as closely anymore. Kessler on more than 150/5 terrifies me. I understand the comps given Claxton/Hartenstein, but that is rough unless they perfectly fill a gap like Isaiah does for OKC

I remember Tony Jones eluding that we would have taken him ~5th if we had the ~5th pick

Damn hope the truth comes out and justice is served. Based on previous news stories about behavior and actions of women he's been involved with I am not jumping to label him, but the dude is a certified idiot with the PR nightmare he's been his whole career. The real Ja/Zion draft class rivalry...

The Bucks are the hardest one up gauge for me, it all comes down to how much it would take to convince Giannis that he can win there. I really think Giannis would prefer to win in Milwaukee, but he wants to win first and foremost. I personally couldn't be sold that Collin Sexton as his second...

Well the is officially my least favorite trade proposal so far. I get that tanking isn't guaranteed as we saw this lottery, but I want nothing to to with half measures where we trade picks this summer. A Lauri/Trae core with the youngins wouldn't even be favored to make the playin in the West...

Reports that Philadelphia mostly wants to swap PG with a winning player to move down, but I have no interest in a PG/Lauri swap to move from 5 to 3. This trade ropes in Houston to provide the #10 for Philadelphia to move from to. Houston needs more shooting and brings in two 40+% shooters in...

The correct answer was neither :( View: https://x.com/NBAPR/status/1924888168509141258?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Does anyone have any comps for a player that was super raw lottery pick and arguably one of the worst minutes-receiving players who still ended up becoming something? I don't need star upside, but Paul George and Jimmy Butler had quieter rookie seasons, but any player who was a disaster class...

A solid B seems fair to me, but closer to a B- than a B+ for me. Keyonte/Brice/Collier/Flip are all good to really good picks in my opinion given the range and the options. Hendricks was unfortunate, management even said as much with him being the #9 guy on their board. He was supposed to be raw...

I wish Portland had their 2026 pick to trade outright, they seem like a team that could sell themselves on being closer than they are and doing a trade but still ending up ~12th in the West next year if things break wrong. Plus make it on draft night and get #11, couple more picks, maybe some...

Plus he gets the enviable position of being the brother of a guy who should easily make $200+ million in his career

Maybe has been discussed a lot but haven't kept up with the threads, but seems like any Lauri trade is greatly benefited by doing a Milwaukee trade that convinces Giannis to give it one more year, and Sexton/Collins expirings and 2025 seconds for Lillard and top 4 protected 2031 1st seems like...

I know people here aren't big Utah Hockey Club fans but they jumped from #14 to #4 in the lottery (the highest they could, they limit it to jumping 10 spots). I will take this as a good sign that the stochastic gods are with us.

It's winning the lottery two years in a row (#1 this year and likely top 2/3 for AJ) plus Doncic not just signing a max extension and going all the way to free agency instead of demanding a trade plus Doncic choosing to join a super young team that was a dumpster fire the previous 4 seasons (not...

Does anyone have any idea which direction New Orleans will point next year? They seem like the most unpredictable team in the league right now. And with Ainge and his love for value this does feel like a recipe for a random and kinda confusing trade.

I like nearly everyone on this Knicks team, but I still just enjoy watching them lose because they're the Knicks

Man, hate the thought of tanking in a play-in situation, but Memphis would be much better off with their late lottery pick then getting curb stomped by OKC
