2025 Offseason Season Thread Vol. 2

JA ain’t coming here

I’m checking in on Ja, Trae, and Garland for sure. With KD on the roster probably check in on Harden too and maybe someone random who pops up. Minor rumblings of a Fox trade now that the Spurs will have Harper/Castle but I doubt that. Doesn’t hurt to ask, we need a high level playmaker to set the table for our guys.

Humble stars Bammy. Listen to Patrick.

Ima just say right now, if they stay healthy Orlando is likely going to the conference finals next season. It may have been an overpay but their starting lineup is as solid as it gets. With the celtics injury, the knicks dont even know what theyre doing, Orlando gave the celtics a lot of trouble..

I like their chances to make the conference finals..

Theyre probably a Luke Kornet or Duncan Robinson off the bench to really do damage.

4 unprotected?! OMG for WHAT? Lmao

If they get an all star level center that fits their guys timeline they’re going to be dangerous. They already will be as is. They have scrappy 3 and D guys surrounding their 2 all star level guys, like we’re seeing with OKC/Indy and like we had around Jimmy/Bam except their much better than who we had surrounding them, same archetype though

Erny hated Bam (because he got paid) and Eddie hates Tyler. These groupies gotta go

Everyone thinks you can just snap your fingers and trade Tyler. Bane is clearly valued much higher as a 2 way player. Tyler is here to stay for the foreseeable future

Desmond Bane is a way better player than Herro and it’s not even close.. like come on, no GM in the league thinks those two players are in the same tier, except for Pat Riley

[Johnny Fontane]

Bro if Herro can get 3 unprotected first you do that yesterday

Crazy thing is Tyler is a perfect fit with KD especially having Mitchell at PG. If we had someone like Dame then Tyler becomes a terrible fit. I know we'd have to get rid of Wiggins to get KD but the perfect line up for us would have been

Mitchell
Herro
Wiggins
KD
Bam.

Perfect balance of scoring and the defense in that lineup would be able to hide Herro a lot on the defensive end. Wiggins also bumps down into your 4th option on offense.

Trae is the guy who is most likely to be moved next.

Need to get this KD trade done already

[NightWatch]

Bane went for 4 1st rd picks wow.

Not gonna lie, I would’ve prefer bane over Kevin due to age.

teams are starting to make their moves while im afraid that the heat is going to stall until the last moment in the draft with subpar talent and dleaguers

Funny, me and my brothers got into a conversation last night about that exact lineup.

If Phx wants Ware, I’d be demanding they take Terry instead of Wiggins.

Teams like Orlando and Knicks be fuxking up the market. Bridges, OG, Bane and Gobert traded like they are stars but just role players.

Yup one bad apple spoils the bunch. KD’s price likely stupidly goes up for no apparent reason

Yeah but look at the price difference

We need to get him and find the perfect 3 and D guy to slide in between him and KD. He and Mitchell compliment each other well subbing in and out for each other. They were trying to give him away last summer, we should’ve jumped all over that. I’ve already read reports they may be reluctant to resign him next summer

Bane is 26, locked up for four more years, and teams like Orlando have to pay a premium.

Durant is 37 and on an expiring deal.

Magic are making an aggressive move to compete in a weak east and be relevant while Banchero isn't making max as he soon will be.

Suns are effed and at this point just want to have a semi competitive team around booker and get out of 2nd apron cap hell. Spurs rockets aren't gonna overpay for a player not on their timeline what so ever. Wolves make sense but sending Jaden mcdaniels doesnt make sense. And they cant include naz or randle since they haven't even opted in to their player options yet and who knows if they will. That leaves miami and raptors. Masai has done non stop crazy trade shiet ever since winning so maybe he does it one more time before losing durant for nothing next year but I still think miami makes the most sense. Suns holding out for ware or a way to get claxton wiggins and being under apron.

I get that but Phoenix looks at this Bane deal and thinks they can get an extra pick or two despite that, just the stupidly of value of picks in the league
