Event Around the 2025 NBA Draft & Offseason Madness!

[CJ_is_Gone]

That was the rule at one point. I thought this rule was changed so Utah would keep his rights.

The player can refuse to sign with the drafted team. If the player plays in any league (ie -Europe) the NBA team retains the player rights. The only way the player can re-enter the draft is to sit out of ALL leagues and just train for a year

Yeah I guess nobody has ever done this in the NBA. That's what Bo Jackson did but I believe the NFL changed the rule so players cant do that any more. Would be wild if Ace actually tries to do this.

I can see a player saying they don't want to play for one city. We've seen that before. But Ace told all the top 5 teams not to draft him.

Think NBA and teams reaction would be WAY different if this was the Lakers at #6 or such. Not much jealousy out there for the Wizards.

 

[inconceivable]

What's the deal with Ace Bailey? He doesn't wanna play in Utah?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I was just thinking today that they would do this (offload Jones with a pick)



Presti has so many picks he can experiment like this - didn't he burn at least one pick trading up for Jones in the first place?

He showed up, didn't he?

 

[inconceivable]

he just did arrive, press con tomorrow

I am not sure how many of those 435 opportunities someone else deserved to start over those three, but it sure as hell was not 435.

doesn't matter, not if the suggestion is that Jrue can come of the bench so Scoot and Sharpe can start together...which is the discussion. Simons could have come of the bench to make that happen, but it simply didn't occur; Chauncey never made that choice

Not sure where to post this or if it’s true, but according to this guy there is an offer on the table for Camara. Couldn’t find the Belgian article he is referencing.View attachment 74330

You COMPLETELY lost me at, “According to this guy”…..C’Mon FAMS!

If this is what Sextons value was, Ant had negative value.

 

[Blazinaway]

Yeah was thinking the same, Jrue deal maybe does not look so bad but that 3 years left is more than I prefer, I wonder if we move him and I'd guess Bos will not have an easy time moving Simons for any value

 

[wizenheimer]

obviously Utah was worried that the Blazers may corner the market on immobile C's so they added another

 

[LayneStaley]

I will never understand why Nurk didn’t dunk the fucking ball more. I remember throwing stuff id get so mad at his 2 ft misses. Can’t stand 7 footers that play below the rim.

 

[RR7]

Leaves Charlotte with ne real center. Right? Ayton, come on down!

 

[Blazinaway]

Char badly needs a C now as do some other teams, hell maybe there will be a bidding war for Ayton! (LOL) At least he is starting to appear more moveable, yes he's expensive but he is an expiring

Jrue is probably more valuable than Ant to the right team. He won't be here 3 years unless he's too injured to play.

Too bad there's nothing on their team that I want. Miles Bridges is a headcase.

I had no fucking idea nurk was even on the hornets.

Some sportswriter predicted Cooper Flagg will be to NBA what Caitlin Clark is to WNBA.
No.
He will be good, draw crowds. But how many of you could name any WNBA player before Clark, let alone recognize one? People who can't name any other WNBA player know her. She is face of the league. NBA has no shortage of mega stars, LeBron, Steph, Jokic. Rising stars SGA & Halliburton. It's just not comparable.

No dis on Flagg. Just he's not going to be face of NBA, at least not yet.

I don't think Flagg is going to be a superstar. I think he's going to be a regular All-Star. I just don't see it.

Thats such a stupid take by them. Maybe the dumbest ive ever heard, and ive heard my takes.

So Jabari Smith just got a 5/122 extension, perhaps that is a ball park number for Shae? as opposed to 5/150 or a bit more, lets hope

yeah...that would be a good comp in terms of extensions

 

[THE HCP]

When Kyrie gets back Flagg will be what, the 3rd option? Nothing wrong with that. He has no pressure on him whatsoever.
