2025 NBA Draft Thread

[osh kosh bosh]

I take Lamelo regardless of Dlo if im the wolves.


Dlo is not good enough to affect my drafting decision.

I’m pretty sure they acquired D’Lo to appease KAT as well...
Regardless I think Edwards is a better fit

Im sure they did, and personally I think that's dumb.

is he even like top 15 at his position?


Drafting for fit when you suck is a suckers game.

If the Wolves are aiming to make the playoffs next season, should they consider training their pick for a legit third star?

Their draft/ player development record is not impressive and there are more questions in this draft than others. If I were them, I would go for a sure-fire star instead.

They have a whole new front office and developmental staff. President was Morey's right hand man and they also have your guy Hinkie's right hand man. Seems like a competent front office, but only time will tell. I think the Wolves make some noise in the future. I don't think they will be against moving KAT and/or Dlo in the future as well. Their new FO has that DNA.

Pretty sure their president/GM came out and said they aren't looking at fit. Too early in the game for that in his opinion.

Trade and get whatever you can. Considering how cap space will be limited due to Rona, only select teams will have space outright. Plenty of teams will be willing to give a lot for Yanni

Tell me which teams can do better than a package of at least Wiggins + 2nd overall pick

Rather lose Giannis for nothing than take that package.

Fit aside I think Edwards is better now and has a better chance of reaching his potential lol

nuggets offloading Jamal Murray, Gary Harris and picks

Bulls giving up Lavine + 4, Lauri etc

Teams will get desperate for a chance

Sure I agree, buuut I didn't get the number 1 pick to get Demar Derozan.


ill take the risk on Lamelo bust potential for the higher upside.

If he busts I just don't think im gunna feel bad about missing out on the rest of the dudes in the lottery.




don't see a single super star in any of them.

For a one year rental? Because I can see Giannis signing an extension with only the Nuggets, outside the Warriors.

I think Avdija ends up going top two by the time the draft comes.

Wiggins is a negative asset lol
Second pick in the weakest draft since 2013 probably
This package can be beat easily

But let’s be honest.. Embiid doesn’t make any of those teams a championship caliber team.

Oh. I saw you posting and assumed it was Embiid related . Giannis will not allow a trade to Chicago or Denver either!

I’m only signing off Embiid deals to GS or Miami

 

[friscostylez]

Embiid to the Dubs would be flames

 

[whitemamba27]

if im trading giannis, even if its for one year no guarantee he stays, i need 3 first round picks

 

[pmatic]

Serious question fellas, after the Bucks loses in the ECSF or ECF and Giannis doesn't want to sign an extension, what would you do if you were the GM?

Rather run it back and compete for a chip next season.
