2025 NBA Draft Thread

[VARNELL HILL]

Nobody is desperate enough to trade for that contract attached to Wiggins
He’s shown nothing to prove he’s worth it

Right. I'm trying to figure out the logic behind the idea that Andrew Wiggins would be a "next best thing/last resort" option for a team that strikes out in FA

salary swap for a bad contracts team like Miami

So why not work out for Memphis?

Morant just had knee surgery. Go meet with them and try to change their minds.

Naw, maybe with some picks involved, I'd entertain Whiteside for Wiggins + 2 picks

 

[ballinsam23]

Minny will eat that contract. They'll continue to win 30 games for the time being.

Very much like that mock.

Not a chance Rui goes before Clarke or PJ Washington

 

[B Sox]

Wouldn't be mad at that at all from a Celtics perspective.

Word for awhile is that Minnesota promised him

Somebody on reddit called De'Andre Hunter the wing Wendell Carter Jr and it seems perfect

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Mocks have been all over the place. I've seen Rui everywhere from 8-28

IDK.. I don't understand Memphis.. How is Morant learning the PG position with Conley still there. Like he's going to have to play SG for the next two years.. then if they let Conley walk learn the SG position when R.J. Barrett is a SG

Mike Conley is 31 turning 32 and still has trade value. It's like he's carrying them to the top of the West with what they have

Wait, how do the Wiz not have a GM a week before the draft?

Word is they’re waiting on Masai

Wendell still shoots the 3 better

Ima be heated if these stupid *** GM’s let the Celtics get all three of Bol, Herro and Porter.

Would be close to impossible for them to develop all 3 with the roster the way it is. They'd end up playing for the red claws and getting traded for protected future 2nd rounders. Seen this movie. It was a dud

They would be nasty in the summer league

Keldon Johnson seems like a sure bet to be a constant G-Leaguer.

He can play , he's not another Glenn Rice Jr

He’s just one of those okay at everything type of guys. If he doesn’t end up on the right team I could easily see him being one of those dudes that gets lost in the mix.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

I feel like slapping buc em behind the head like MJ did Malik Monk.

Keldon plays hard all the time and is on at least a decent level on offense
