2024-2025 College Basketball / NBA Draft

[ProcessDoctor]

If there is a trade in Philadelphia’s future involving the No. 3 pick in the draft, don’t expect the 76ers to move down very far on the 2025 draft board. League sources maintain that the Sixers are determined to add a dynamic young talent to their core after the tremendous fortune they enjoyed in the May 12 draft lottery.

I’m personally want to take Bailey, but if the Sixers trade down in a cost cutting move, I’m done with the NBA period.

Paul George doubling down. Melo actually commented on Ace as well but unfortunately all the content creators on my timeline only care about PG’s comments it seems. He’s a fan and high on him as well.

The only opinion I care about is Daryl Morey's.

Why are we assuming that would be about money?

[ProcessDoctor]

I feel like if Morey really believes in Ace, there will be no trade down discussions.

According to steins report (who we know Daryl feeds info to, after he reported that haliburton lie) they don't want to move back far. Maybe he's trying to entice Ainge to trade 2 picks to him, and let fans know there will still be a young player added. That's just not realistic considering it's Ainge

But, I don't love that report.

[Negrodamus]

I wouldn't trust PG to make the last pick in the second round, much less the 3rd.

[youngcrev]

If Ace is the guy the league views as the 3rd guy, Morey would be best served broadcasting that that's who will pick right now, regardless of whether that's true or not.

Because most of the Sixers moves are about money.

I don't know...Song of the day for me is Edgecombe. Started really delving into his game over the last two days and I think he's a starter right away in this league. I feel the same about Bailey and Johnson, but today Edgecombe is the player I'd take. It literally changes from day to day so I'm in no position to state an opinion.

I have a feeling San Antonio will surprise everyone and pick Bailey, kinda like when Orlando drafted Paolo, when people were thinking Smith was going to be the first pick.

Ok, we've lost the plot. They've done minor things to duck the tax because of the repeater clause and I'm sure to save money as well. But they also spent tons of money putting last year's team together. This is 3OA. They're not making that decision over $5MM.

If they move, it's for basketball reasons. We're all going to agree or disagree with whatever those may be and fair enough. But there's no reason to act like they're the Donald Sterling Clippers for some strange reason.

PG will probably help Bailey a lot, so its kinda dumb to not draft him if you think about it. He plays like PG already, imagine what he wouldnt pick learning from George .

I'm trusting Derik Queen losing weight and becoming a better athlete before Ace learns how to pass, draw fouls, beat his man off the dribble, generate steals, and gain weight/muscle mass.

Every endorsement for Ace comes with a litany of excuses as to why he fell short and how he'll "figure it out".

[MVP1992]

I wish Cedric Coward got to play 30+ games instead of just 6.

[Negrodamus]

Sorber could end up being one of the best players in this draft, possibly top three. He just has that type of game with the physical attributes to match

[ProcessDoctor]

Morey is gonna take VJ and PG is gonna be speechless lol.

[Negrodamus]

I think I've expressed this sentiment before, but we need to leave this draft with Adou Thiero or Miles Byrd (or both). Those are two guys you'd see on NYK, MIN, or OKC. Defensive athletic 6'5+ G/F who have 3FG upside.

[Arsenal]

Ace (or Harper) at #3 or trade down for Noa.

That’s it! Don’t overthink it!!!
