2025 NBA Draft Discussion

[Xiao Yao You]

He scored with austin anyway. Hopefully ace is as good as he thinks he is

[GOBB]

No clue who Austin is. Ace first name starts with an A. Time will tell for Ace. Utah appears to be in the lottery seeepstakes next draft. Anyway. Some studs there besides AJ from BYU

[Xiao Yao You]

Thunder get their pick if not bottom10 so they will tank. Main reason sexton is gone

[Xiao Yao You]

Wow dennos lindsey signing favors and having to add a pick a year later to get rid of him.

But I’m reading that if Utah doesn’t give okc the first next draft then they no longer are on the hook to give them a first rd pick thereafter. Go ahead and tank. Start by trading John Collins next.

I think okc gets nothing. How much will it cost to trade collins? Too good to buy out. Had no choice with the bum because hes a joke

Who wants lauri?

Markkanen is severely overpaid. That's gotta be a tough sell without taking back bad contracts in return. If Miami is desperate enough maybe Wiggins (1 more year) + Rozier (expiring) straight up?

I disagree I think Lauri would command interest. He’s a very good floor spacer. I don’t know about him defensively but I know scoring/shooting that’s the going rate for someone having his skills. I see value with him.

[Xiao Yao You]

He has value. What the jazz will take is the question. He has to go eventually. Different timeline than ace, hendricks, collier and company

I don't know about that. What is the difference between him and MPJ?

7 feet. Plays 3 positions. 3 level scorer. Elie shooter

MPJ shoots a much higher 2P FG% and 3PT%. Markkanen is also not a 3-level scorer. He barely gets to the FT line. 3.9 FTAs per game for the number one option os underwhelming.
