Event Around the 2025 NBA Draft & Offseason Madness!

[wizenheimer]

You really think they can be above okc, 1st in the west?

he's thinking they'll drop

 

[GoZers]

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Its an odd feeling when sons of players I liked are old.

But yeah its a good signing if he can be an upgrade for the Westbrook role.

Easy to forget Denver was in a game 7 with the Thunder.

 

[inconceivable]

he's thinking they'll drop

They will be top 4 I think

FVV / Amen
Amen / Reed Sheppard
KD/ Tari Eason
JSJ / DFS
Sengun / Adams / Capela

OKC still OKC

Denver, Houston got better

Lakers, Minny having mid offseason so far

Warriors, Clips, Grizz, Mavs, not sure what they've done

Spurs and us will try to make the Playoffs / Playin

Suns Sacto Jazz Nola will be tankers

 

[wizenheimer]

Denver isn't messing around

 

[wizenheimer]

a couple of former Blazers: Larry Nance Jr to Cleveland....Drew Eubanks to Kings

Is Tim Hardaway Jr good? I don't know his game much

 

[SlyPokerDog]

is this sarcasm? what have we done?

where is the camara and sharpe extension?
where is the mle signing?
where is the grant trade?
where is the new owner?

we are watching the rockets, hawks, and nuggets make their teams better

Shit what did I miss

We were the 2nd biggest story in the draft after Flagg.

It's something and I'll take it.

Biggest if you include China

a couple of former Blazers: Larry Nance Jr to Cleveland

Back where he started his career.

He was a nice backup big I would've liked to have on the team if we were trying to win. He goes back to the team we got him from in Cleveland.

Nuts we still owe the pick to acquire him - and potentially for 3 more years until 2028.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Interesting .... so potentially a team with a center is trading with a 3rd team - and then the center might get rerouted to the Lakers.

So probably only would fit with us/Grant if it means Grant could go to a 3rd team for a center who then goes to the Lakers.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Maybe Grant to the Bulls and Vucevic to the Lakers? Vucevic doesn't really seem like a Luka type player nor the defender they need though.

Claxton makes sense to the Lakers but Brooklyn doesn't fit as a Grant destination.

Maybe Grant to the Bucks and Kuzma/Portis to the Lakers?

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Natebishop3]

A center..... that doesn't make much sense.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Maybe that Lakers center deal gets wrapped up into the MPJ trade

No picks given up. Hell yeah, I'd do that. Don't see why the Nets do. They get screwed.

We take on Vanderbilt deal and they get Timelord expiring.

You may be right though - maybe the Nets need more. If we really think MPJ is a legit piece we send them the Orlando pick.

No. I meant they won’t be as high as 2 again. In other words, I don’t think they are improved.

He was an important part of Detroit’s resurgence.

already said it, but rockets can be anywhere from 1-4 if healthy nxt season

The rumor on the radio was a center coming from a 3rd team - it wasn't a direct two team trade.

Also no NBA team is rolling with Timelord as their starting center. He probably not even able to slot in as a backup anywhere - but might as 3rd string.

 

[KingSpeed]

I’m thinking anywhere from 3-9. Also, hardly any team is ever healthy so I include the fact that they will have injuries.

I still figured they'd sign Ayton.

 

[BIG Q]

I still figured they'd sign Ayton.

Could be a bidding war with Indy.

 

[B-Roy]

If the rumors are true, the Lakers don't want contracts with more than 2 years. Just rule out JG.

yeah, Grant-->Lakers is the dream that won't die around here, but should

 

[Chris Craig]

It will. It's on its deathbed as we speak.

 

[inconceivable]

The biggest stories remaining are

Giannis
Lebron
Lillard
Horford
Ayton
