The Official 2025 NBA Draft Talk Thread

The Rockets losing Hakeem and drafted Yao.

Houston also had the Chinese consulate so the Chinese government could watch him at all times.

Tanking don't pay obviously.

At least that is a Silver lining

Tanking should be dead dead after this. Generational draft picks are reserved, no point in tanking for one.

I'm not even sure #2, Castle + fluff would get it done. Bucks don't control their picks the next five years, they can't realistically go with a youth movement (or they could but won't reap the rewards)

It's gonna have to a super package based around Amen, or something unique around Chet/Dub (if not both), otherwise some unique vet swaps are gonna have to be entertained.

If Giannis is adamant that SA is his only destination than it might with two more future 1st picks added to that but they should be doing all they can to keep that Castle - Fox backcourt

 

[Unbothered]

The bright side for Coop is that he'll be playing for a team that's pretty good when healthy, in some ways, maybe contenders, and he'll have a Hall of Famer in AD to guide him and school him on some things.

The Draft has definitely been compromised like there's nobody, and not even the Maverick fans, months leading up to this draft lottery, pictured themselves having a shot at Flagg.

This is the league helping to ease the mess in Dallas because it was gonna get worse by the time the next season started; the Mavs were gonna lose money and earnings from fans boycotting.

Got damn man if I was a faq I'd become a Mavs fan

You can be the type of faq that will follow him around while denigrating any of his competition and Hall of Famers

Flagg doesn’t need to win but one or two rings and I’ll have him all time over Bron. He’s being drafted into a tougher league and we don’t count number of rings as a measure of greatness

Bron played with plumbers and dentists most of his career. Flagg is playing with ELITE athletes

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

Shout out to Silver for rigging the lottery and blessing Cooper, Harper and Bailey with the best spots possible. For their career. Cooper with AD and Kyrie high energy defense guy at the 3. Ace Bailey with Fox, Castle, Vessel and Wemby is nice starting lineup. Harper and Maxey should be a good backcourt. If Embiid get back to 80% of what he was they’ll be good.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Damn, is it law that Dallas must keep a white superstar.

2000s version of the 60s-80s Celtics

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

No more Ledbetter Luka, now it's Oak Cliff Cooper

Dont be dissin Ledbetter breh







The Grove tho (back in the day)

 

[KFBF]

They should do the drawing live on TV.

Atlanta's first and Sacramento's first in the future.

New Orleans and Portland are begging for Milwaukee to do that trade, guaranteed lottery for the life of those swaps they owe

 

[FakeNews]

All that shameless tanking Utah has done and they still have very little to show for it

 

[Rekkapryde]

Nico been telling yall just wait it’ll make sense

All American Creh in Big D

Add AD, Kyrie returning.

Great day for America

Who has control of the Bucks picks for the next five years?

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Silver wants Luka/Giannia v AD/Flagg

C'mon lets be realistic.

Bron got his work cut out against the Mavs tho


Lets hope Bronny ready
