2025 NBA Draft Thread, Part 2 – Capture the Flagg

[playa-hater]

The Timberwolves with pick 31 is a perfect spot for sam hauser to be traded. They desperately need some shooters to help Anthony. Edwards. They shouldn't have too much of a problem. Clearing out ten million in cap space, I hope. That is a win win..

Fleming and Raynaud..come on down..

[cl2117]

Aaaaaand the Suns have #31 now.

At least my Raynaud dreams are well alive they can't possibly take another big. I think the Suns go Fleming.

Suns doing work, lol. Hopefully they really like Kalkbrenner in their center mix.

What about Hauser to DET for 37 and a future 2nd?

Yep. They want Fleming.

Suns are doing good work.

I never liked Rasheer all that much anyway. Plenty of better prospects. There's a reason he fell. Etc, etc.

Your dream of Ryan 'Big K' Kalkbrenner is still alive!

That's why you take fleming at 28. Gonzalez would have still been there at 32 if you wanted.

Can't deny I had the same thought. May or may not be true that he'd last, and Hugo could end up much better, but I did think it.

What about Hauser to DET for 37 and a future 2nd?

I would do it because it saves us 10 million dollars for a player. We do not need and it will definitely be a talented player left over at 37.

I"ve already made my list for the 2nd pick tonight, lol. Hopefully 2 of these guys:

Fleming (sigh)
Thiero
Penda
Raynaud
Broome

Fallback to Small/James/Sanders. Or don't do the trade if none of the first list lasts to 37.

[djFan71]

It sucks, but gotta admire the Suns turning a few paper clips into Rasheer step by step.

[Shak_Celts]

I don’t like kalk. Need a guy that can come out and be respectable outside on D. I think I hate drop more than ANYTHING! Issa no for me. Nba players are going to Gobert him in the playoffs. It’s all cute and whatever in the regular season, but this is the Celtics, I don’t want the coach to have to keep you on the bench because you can’t come outside and defend.


Edit: there are very few NBA teams that won’t make him look like a he has cement shoes in the playoffs.


If we pick him, my stance will change… deep down I’ll know though.

[brackdan70]

So Suns are hot on Fleming. What’s the pool say for Celtics. Thiero, Kalkbrenner, Penda, Raynaud, someone else?

Let’s do it. Call it in

I mean this fist windmill is just silly. Not saying he’ll be the Thompson twins, but he’s a freak athlete. He can’t shoot a lick (like the Thompson’s), but he easily had highest ceiling of these guys left and could be a rotation piece, which is all you’re looking for in 2nd rounders

Not just cuz of the dunks, but you're pushing my tantalized by Thiero again button, lol. If Fleming goes 31, I could definitely be into him.

Fleming
Thiero/Penda/Raynaud muddle
Broome

He was always on my board, but that was assuming Fleming/Penda were gone.

Yep, I wouldn't get cute with this pick. Seems like all those players listed were in that late first round talent range. I hope Brad just takes his guy and go, unless there is an offer at the last minute that is a clear upgrade of talent or financial relief.

Thiero might actually be Minnesota's guy. Or Fleming, sure. Teams must be calling them all day to try to grab that top pick.

Suns called and collected is what I’m seeing here.

Edit: Will Brad?

[meatball sub]

This draft **** is so boring for us bc we have t drafted anyone who has made an instant impact as a rookie since Tatum

[jmr07019]

Thiero or Fleming is who I want. Do not draft a guard.
