The NBA Thread

I kinda follow the Lakers so no...lol

But I do like some other teams, the Mavs, but they're drafting Flag. I hope the Bulls can get one good at 12 as I'm hoping that franchise develops around Gidey. I like the Nets (as a fan of underdog teams generally), I think they've got 4 picks in the first round, but no high ones, so that will be interesting. Disappointing that the Pistons don't have any first-round picks as an exciting young team.
 
I was a bit of a Mavs sympathiser cos I loved Dirk and I love Luka as a player. The moment they dumped Luka on the god damned Lakers they became my most hated franchise lol. Usurping the Rockets.
 
Utah not spooked by Bailey. Will definitely boost their timeline. Big need for them.

They have 8th overall, maybe someone like Tre Johnson falls to them.

Nico's job saved by the lottery balls. Hate to see it if you're a Mavs fan.
 
Classic Ainge to take the guy he wants even if they refused point blank to work out for the Jazz. He'll always take the talent bet/athleticism bet. I saw that Ace's combine measurements & athletic markers were really really similar to Tatum's so this shouldn't be a shock.

Tre Johnson may be the most Washington Wizardy player in the draft so I love that pick. He's a true hooper.

First massive shocker/reach pick! Egor Demin! God it never even occurred to me he'd go before about 25.

What's insane is that they have pick 19 and they could almost certainly have just taken him there.

He really sidestepped the questions afterwards about his workouts availability. Yeah if I'm an agent im telling him to knuckle down and get to work.
Dude could have gotten more money being drafted higher but still ends up in Utah lol.

Wonder if teams took him off their boards.

If they just tell him he can take whatever dumbass shots he likes he may get over the disappointment.

Noa Essengue is my strongest, most ironclad, 100% BUST prospect of all the guys getting real draft hype that I looked into. The tape is awful. Yuck yuck yuck. Congratulations Raptors on drafting another guy with great measurements who can't actually play.

Damn got it wrong.

Instead they took a guy who's a lot like Scottie Barnes? Interesting.
 
Don't mind it. Apparently his workout with Toronto was described as "secret private workout" lol. So I feel they were keen on him thinking he'd land around there 8-11 or so. Fills a need too but best player available is a debate.
 
I hate Toronto's roster so I'm big on them just taking their BPA. At least the guy actually has a lot of skill which is the exact opposite of what they usually do (great measurables, can't actually play).

But he's a very weird player lol.

Oh damn Grizzlies traded up to get Cedric Coward. I was keen on him for the Spurs and the Grizz are in my opinion the best scouting department in the league so I think we're looking at a star here.
 
Charlotte have traded their Center Mark Williams to the Suns for the 29th pick in 2025 and a 2029 first round pick.

Portland get Memphis' 16th overall (via Orlando) and two seconds. Not a bad one from Memphis like you said.
 
Heard the Bulls were one team that may move around with Lonzo/White on the block. Sounds like that didn't happen or they didn't get an offer they liked.
