Legit starting to think it’s a real possibility.

Shams and others are saying that we might use all 5 picks unless it’s a good deal

Might be posturing but can’t see us simply giving them away

I wouldn’t say it’s giving them away to move up to 2, even if you have to include a future NYK pick.

I’d be fine giving all 5 if we can reload and trade claxton or cam for another lottery pick

We are going to get a steal. It’s literally coming down to the wire for Fears or Bailey.

Good that Pelicans picked Fears, clearing a potential bust from the board. I don't understand the obsession with Fears, he can't shoot, terrible efficiency overall in college. Yes he has speed and can improve, but he's so much behind other prospects at similar spots.

Nets made a great pick. Egor Demin has a shot to be a star.

Netaman · Post #870 » by **Netaman** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 1:10 am

Demin wasn't my top guy at #8 but no issue with it. I trust Marks and I value playmaking. The length should fit well too and give them lots of options at 2 guard. I know none of us would say CamT is locked in long term so you obviously don't make this pick for the best fit next to him, but it provides a good example of where Demin may be a good fit next to any scoring 2 guard with other weaknesses.

Stone · Post #871 » by **Stone** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 1:11 am

I didn’t have Egor Demin on my bingo card. But I putting my trust in Marks.

JoseRizal · Post #872 » by **JoseRizal** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 1:13 am

I'm OK with the Demin pick. I guess the FO values length and he fits well with CT.

I wonder if we're trading up as I want us to draft Essengue...

Prokhorov smiling somewhere

NetSymptom · Post #874 » by **NetSymptom** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 1:46 am

I’ll trust in Marks and Jordi, but would be lying if I said I was thrilled with how the night is going

JoseRizal · Post #875 » by **JoseRizal** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 1:47 am

It seems like we're not making any attempt to trade up

JoseRizal · Post #876 » by **JoseRizal** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 2:14 am

Jakucionis is falling. I wouldn't mind grabbing him at 19

JoseRizal · Post #877 » by **JoseRizal** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 2:24 am

Traore is a great pick!

I think the price to do so just isn't worth it...

Guaranteed contracts for the 25-26 season so far:

Claxton
Cam J
Clowney
Whitehead
Mann
Demin
Traore
Powell
Wolf
Saraf* (if he isn't stashed, though it doesn't look like he will)

----
Players that can be brought back by the team next season:

Wilson (I think he comes back)
Keon (i think he's gone)
Martin (gone)
Timme (gone)
Lewis (gone)

----
Current Free Agents:

Russell (gone)
Watford (gone)
Melton (gone)

With the picks made tonight I fully expect the team to resign CamT and maybe Sharpe and Z Williams. We still have plenty of money available too. I'm hoping we make 1 or 2 more moves similar to the Atl/Bos trade.
