Following Potential 2025 Draftees

If you are the Sixers front office you put all of the Bailey concerns on blast to try to entice Utah or Charlotte into a trade up. I actually think they select Bailey anyway if no one bites.

How exactly does that benefit the sixers if Bailey is tanking his draft stock?
 
I hate Ace but I’m drafting him if he’s there (even if just to trade him a la @Handlogten's Heros suggestion). If keeping him, I would try to follow that up with trading Lauri for PG and some premium draft comp or McCain or something. Maybe keep Sexton. Ace needs some real mentorship and he’s clearly the kind that won’t accept it from just anybody.

Because they can trade down and still get him. Do we really think Philly is going to draft Tre or VJ?

So he is working with the team that wants to take him... and he wants to go there but he's doing them a solid by tanking his value so they can take him at 5 or 6... even though that will cost him real money over the next 4 years? Its a 5M-16M difference from 3 to 4-7.

Don't know why people are so obsessed with calling Ace a 2. It doesn't matter, but muh narratives I guess......

Yah... I don't know why in today's league anybody bothers with calling players this or that position. I feel like it's more about what role and functions he does than any particular position. Does he play on ball or off... what kind of actions are run for him, if any, etc.

I don't care if he's 2 or 3 or 4... or... small 5. Telling me what you expect him to do on our team is much more interesting.

interesting. i've never seen anybody who is obssessed with that. but there are a lot of websites out there so not doubting you've seen a lot of it. just that i haven't. fwiw, i agree it would be weird.
 
I hope it’s WAS that Ace wants. You’re only trading one spot down so you can ensure you get your guy. Makes a lot of sense to be them as well. WAS is good at convincing guys to come to chase their chucking dreams. Ace would have a clear pathway to do whatever he wants. WAS also traded up one spot to secure Bilal. This is right up their alley.

Going up from 21 to 18 is a logical payment.
 
If the Jazz have legit interest in Kneuppel at #5, that's enough of a deterrent to prevent Charlotte from trading back to #6 with Washington. Presumably, Charlotte wants Kon if VJ isn't available. Jazz need to keep it unclear if they want Tre, Kon or Ace.
