The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[The Q]

I just learned Isaiah Evans from Duke just snuck into testing the draft waters

I definitely have him as one of my dudes

 

[The Q]

Meh...he's Celtics fan. He'll get it backwards.

It’s really hard to go on a spree if you do that….

 

[tlance]

Let’s see how the playoffs go

Okc could trade for him without touching their big 3 and barely miss any of the picks either

Could they?

Can you please post an example of a deal without any of the 3?

Hartstein in any version of the deal

At least one of dort/Wiggins

Cason Wallace

All young pieces that can be added

Plus, 5-6 firsts??

Guys like dort or Wiggins could easily be flipped for more firsts, possibly to the pelicans who own their future

Maybe they can buy back their picks Portland owns with some of the ones they’ve gotten from this trade (like brook didwith hou last summer)

That’s the basics of the package

Not even coming close to happening. Hartenstein will be available after next season possibly though, depending on how this year finishes. I expect the Thunder to take a big in the draft.

Future picks are still question marks…they got match salaries and other teams can offer young players as well.

No they can’t

No chance. Houston can offer young players. Offer 50 1st’s only gets you so far. Offering players where you already kinda know what they are and/or a possible ceiling is more valuable

First playoff day with only one game I believe

 

[Retroram52]

I think it is high time the Lakers stop trading away their draft assets to find a good Center and just draft one by buying some Second Rounders in the next several drafts.

So built not bought?

 

[Retroram52]

Precisely, thunderc, just like your Thunder who were built primarily through the draft with a few FA additions and now they are a powerhouse.

 

[Black Adam]

So built not bought?

Huh. Wonder who used to say that...

 

[thunderc]

Huh. Wonder who used to say that...

I knew I heard it somewhere

Magic chimes in and he has it right.

I love Magic. He's my favorite athlete all time, any sport...but sometimes he really needs to just stfu.

He's not saying anything that hasn't already been said by pretty much everyone who watched the series.

The next time he provides any actual insight, will be the first time.

 

[Wamu]

Meh...he's Celtics fan. He'll get it backwards.

[eaglesnut]

I think he'll play, if for no other reason than he likes JJ as coach and probably wants to see what can happen with Luka on the team for an entire training camp and season.

Bingo. Lebron has always been great as a #2.

 

[tlance]

Bingo. Lebron has always been great as a #2.

Well, his entire history as a number 2 has been like 22 games.

 

[thunderc]

It’s finally settled, the Thunder play Monday. This has to be the longest layoff in league history, 10 days.
