2025 NBA Draft June 25th| Round 1| 8PM EDT| ESPN TSN

[Orange Balls]

Lots of C's still left is great for us!

[CazOnReal]

Remaining teams in the 1st round:
Nets (Twice)
Celtics
Clippers
Hornets (29th went to them)

[Thaddy]

Fleming, Wolf, Nembhard, Kalkbrenner, Toohey, Thiero, Gonzalez, Brea, Jones, Penda, Saraf, Raynaud, Proctor, Sion, Markovic and more still available.

[Bruin]

3 picks in the 20s are/were available. If we wanted, we’d make a trade. Still time. But I’m not buying any excuses saying we tried but couldnt reach a deal

trades mean we have to give up something. you want to give up a future pick or a player for a pick in the low 20's when we are picking 39?

Acting like there’s no difference between picking in the 20s and 39? Yeah we’d have to give something to get something, but creative GMs make such deals all the time

[bballsparkin]

Maybe he makes it to 39, it's eye of the beholder around this range.

Zero chance he makes it past the Celtics, they love 3-point shooters

Lack of real track record and volume probably isn't enough to stamp him as a 3 point shooter.

39% over 1 season could be just a hot streak, have to also consider the 29.7% and 32.4% he shot other seasons along with the FT%.

Celtics gonna take McNeeley.

how much do you have to give up to do it though? I don't think we'd include future firsts for anyone still available. The hope is you can turn our 2nd+cash into a late first so you don't get scooped in the early 30s.

[djsunyc]

didn't we scout hugo gonzalez quite a bit?

[PushDaRock]

Jase measured terribly in height but he plays a lot bigger than 6"

100%

Our guys make their pick and then pat themselves on the back the rest of the night. It’s frustrating. The champion built their team through the draft, but apparently we’re too good for that. Kawhi Leonard ain’t walking through that door.

Did you miss last year us drafting 4 guys then adding Battle on top of it?

Exactly we didn't even have a lottery pick on that team. Majority was late first, second or undrafted.

[Ell Curry]

Read on Twitter

I don't see how this trade suggests that, but obviously they need to move at least one of Monk/Lavine/Demar for an actual PG.

[Pointgod]

Love that pick for Magic....Jase/Bane will help Magic alot next year.

Funny a lot of naysayers said they still didn’t have enough shooting getting Bane. Now they basically have Jase/Anthony Black to replace Cole Antony’s production. Pretty good get here.

[Mark_83]

Hoping for Kalkbrenner/Markovic/Watkins/Proctor/James/Nembhard at 39.

It's crazy how it was supposed to be a **** draft but did so well.

[Brinbe]

jase was tailor-made for the magic. the heir to gary harris' throne

It's almost always a massive overpay to trade up in a draft.

my point is what you give up is value - so who do you trade without giving up future picks? because i don't want to give up a future pick if we have another one this draft. that limits possible trades later. are you willing to give up a guy like ochai or dick? rj?

i also don't think we want a guaranteed deal to add to the cap since we are so close to the tax line.

cmb + #39 would give us 7 guys on rookie deals. that's alot.

Yeah im starting to worry about our position in the East ....I think Magic/Hawks may clear us at this point....We need to make a move for an upgrade some where...RJ/CMB/Barnes/Yak/Mogbo....Bad shooting/Spacing within 6 players that will play mins...

[DelAbbot]

Imagine leaving the draft with Harper and Bryant while having Wemby

We got CMB, Mogbo while having Scottie Barnes
