Way too early 2025 Draft. Will everyone except a half a dozen or so tank for the deep two way wings

It’s hyped as one of the best in a llooonnnggg time

Duke and Rutgers are must see TV

I think it's why Brooklyn is deciding to blow it up and Chicago is trying to. And maybe Utah as well.

If you are the Jazz, Spurs or Nets you damn well wanna tank. And those picks valuable for any trade deadline ops

The Spurs are not tanking, not after signing CP to come in and mentor the kids. Plus, Wemby is only going to keep getting better in his 2nd season.

Good point

 

[DJ]

I would put the Spurs win total at somewhere between 35-38 games.

They will still get a good player.

No, they aren’t tanking.

But if they start slow or sustain a couple injuries to key guys, look for the Spurs to move in that direction.

Don’t forget about Portland

You are right, they should tank. Maybe they get lucky in the lottery lol

I don’t think SA can tank though bc of Wemby. Seems like they are adding some veterans to make a play-in push. Get the young players playoff experience asap. Wemby probably going to be ridiculous next year so maybe that alone doesn’t put them in the bottom 4-5.

And the jazz owe their pick too 10 protected so they can mess around and be stupid like they have the last 2 years

36 wins is what got the #1 overall pick this year.

Tanking these days isnt all it is cracked up to be.

No way Detroit wins over 20 games.

Reminder that this all is because the way the league calls fouls to benefit stars so they can prop them up to advertisers.

The nba has diminshed the quality of the sport to such a degree that the game isn't good enough to sell itself.

 

[logic]

Pistons are going to tank while not even trying to tank (again)—deep sigh

And end up picking #5 (again)—-deeper sigh.

It’s just what the basketball fates have determined. Gores has done something to earn all this karma.

 

[ducky]

No way Detroit wins over 20 games.

With the new lottery the worst team in the league is only picking in the top 4 at a coin flip rate.

While they will be bad, I’m not sure they will be worse than this year. And they would have been over 20 this year if not for Monty

That’s a good and bad thing

He showed signs of frustration last season in his rookie season. Not used to losing.

They need to blow it up like the Nets appear to be.

I mean Danny has just collected assets and they have a good coach so they’re over performing

He needs to cash in mark and sexton tho
