The Official 2025 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[CantStop]

some tidbits from the Athletic:

predicts Bulls draft Beringer at 12, but have also been linked to Demin.

Bulls might trade down for Coward or Wolf

Clayton's stock starts at 17. However, he may have a safety net situation, which is why he's not doing many workouts.

U think it’s gonna be trade heavy this year?

I cant wait to hate watch Ace in DC...hoe ass nikka. Now VJ talkin bout he was nervous at his workout....man wrap this draft up

I'm more prepared than ever for my mock to mean nothing.


This year I feel like there are absolutely deals to be made. The status quo wouldn't make sense this time around.

In fact, I'll tell y'all the deals I would make.

 

[tremonthustler1]

trades I'd make:

New Orleans trades 7 and Hawkins to Charlotte for #4
NO takes Bailey or Fears
Charlotte takes Knueppel at 7.

Brooklyn trades 8, 19 and 26
Utah trades 5 and 21
Brooklyn takes Fears or Bailey
Utah at 8 takes Essengue


Portland trades 11
Minnesota trades 17 and 31
Minnesota takes Sorber
Portland takes Clifford or Murray-Boyles

Atlanta trades 13 and Okongwu
Washington trades 6
Atlanta takes Maluach
Washington takes Beringer or Coward/Clifford


Minnesota trades 17 and 31, gets 26, 27 and 2 2nd's
Brooklyn trades 26, 27, and 36, gets 17 and 31
Sacramento trades 2 future Hornets 2nd's and gets #36

the only reason charlotte hasn't made a move is because philly is giving mixed signals in every direction at once

 

[LEEeveryday]

I heard Brooklyn wants to have 2 lottery picks so I'd be open to trading 12 for 19 & 26.
Coming out with a Maxime Raynaud & Noah Penda works for me.

Morey may just call Ace's bluff and take him anyway or we just grab VJ.
I'd rather trade back 1 spot with yall in exchange for both your 2nd rounders or something. I need a good big man
Ive been listening to the local Hornets podcasts and VJ or Kon seems to be the names that come up the most for yall

 

[GoldenGlove]

Suns need a PF/C. Derik Queen

[JoelB]

dont worry, i already got my Queen chicago bulls jersey on preorder

@Brozay

I figured this would happen. They are bringing in Topic from last year, and they have 2 solid 1st rounders this year. Makes sense to consolidate the 2 picks this year into 1 knowing they have another prospect that they are high on already waiting in the wings

I've heard rumors that Brooklyn and Charlotte have some sort of deal in place for a trade.

Provided that Ace is still available and VJ is off the board (he's the pick if he's still there at 4)

Our Frachise just can't win but one thing for sure Morey know how to draft just take the salary cap and free agency from him.

 

[JoelB]

@tremonthustler1 what are your thoughts on Adou Thiero?

Our Frachise just can't win but one thing for sure Morey know how to draft just take the salary cap and free agency from him.

facts...thats why i wanna trade back and get a few more picks. He can find us another gem in the late 20s
