NBA Draft Thread 2025

[VFX]

Does NOLA think they aren’t going to be a bottom 5-7 team? Lol

They have Jordan Poole now. Did they remember that?

[___Rand___]

Queen is a good player. (not saying he's worth 2 1sts). Pels must feel the guy's worth it.

Does the Mil pick have previous protections?

edit: It's a pick swap with Milwaukee.

Stern real proud of Dumars today

[Chuck Everett]

What is New Orleans doing? Giving up a pick next year, what if the Pelicans and Bucks miss the playoffs which isn't an implausibility? Good grief.

I don’t see how the Pels make it tbh

Inside job from Dumars to get the team moved.

CLEAR AS DAY.

Damn!

Pelicans trading an unprotected 1st? That is going to be an top 4 pick... WTF.

Dumars sh#%ing the bed right out of the gate. wtf is he doing?

What he's done this last week is fireable.

Unprotected 1st for a mid round pick is insane, just playing Russian roulette

Dude is selling off future firsts for the 12th seed.

EDIT: Holy sh#%, does Joe Dumars know that the Pels play in the West!? Is he making these moves thinking he is in the East?

[Chuck Everett]

It's a swap between Milwaukee and New Orleans. The trade with Atlanta is the more favorable. So if New Orleans wins the #1 pick, it now goes to Atlanta.

[tcheco]

if Silver blocks this trade for the pelicans no one would argue, this is just HORRIBLE, How will DJM look? ehat if zion loses games for injury and for his legal situation? Baffling

[azcatz11]

Atlanta is low key stacked. Queen and Zinger additions. This team is so well balanced they could compete for a ECF

[RookieStar]

Zion & Queen - Burger Brothers!!!

Fat Boy Summer

Obese Brothers

[FarBeyondDriven]

Joe Dumars has dementia. Quite literally a franchise destroying type of trade. They were likely to have a top 5-8 pick in an all-time great 2026 draft class and instead chose to trade that AND another first for Queen? Holy smokes. You can only blame "small market" for so much when it comes to why they continue to be NBA doormats. It's moves like this, and Hornets taking Kon, that are the real reasons why they remain so. It's so bad it has to be orchestrated by the league. I refuse to believe these things are organic ineptness.

Queen is in New Orleans now

I expect them to be in the top 5-7 again next year as well. 2026 is going to be a much better draft talent wise. This is the second terrible deal they've made in a row with Atlanta, beginning with Dyson Daniels. Two different front offices, same results.

Good move by the Hawks. Fears and Queens might be better than I expect, but they'll be rookies so how much will they help next year?

[azcatz11]

Bryant to the spurs!!! What a steal!

[damanick10]

nice!!!

[FrightCoward]

The hell is this dude wearing?

[Hsker4Life]

Mark has his issues but I am a fan of the cost.

I’m not. Phoenixs 2029 pick is going to be high lotto.

Nah. It’s actually pretty well protected for PHX

[G R E Y]

OMG YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!


WHY WOULD YOU LET HIM FALL TO US?!

WHY?!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

FRUIT BASKETS TO ALL TEAMS AHEAD OF US!

[MoneyTalks41890]

Sorber or Newell here?

[Mk0]

Can I be a Spurs fan? Manu was my favorite player when he was in the league.

Y'all are some spoiled mofos. I wish my team had a smart FO.
