2025 NBA Draft Thread, Part 2 – Capture the Flagg

[Bill Lumbergh]

Thiero to Lakers. Eff them.

[Hal14]

Another trade lol

[djFan71]

Damn love that pick for Lakers getting Thiero

Dang it!

[redslastlaugh]

Lakhin got some love here a while back. He and Small?

You'd think 46 + 57 to move up.
Failing that, pick someone you like at 46
At 57 just pick a foreign players rights
Theres only 59 picks this year

[Dogen]

More trades please! This is fun.

[165bows]

Brad traded the pick LOL!!! 4 2nd round picks.

Javon Small baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I liked Kalk/Raynaud but they seemed flawed as well.

Just as happy taking some more basic guys like Small or the more traditional centers like Cardwell or Amari Williams or even Lanier I guess.

My Guy Johni Broome off the board! Love him and that's a great spot for him. He'll be at least a high-end backup center for a decade in the NBA.

Who needs a big when we're having Kornet back?

Kornet annihilates every big that would be taken. You think Kalkbrenner is better than Kornet?

57 is basically first shot at the top UDFAs. And you don't have to convince them to play for you.

[jfs1000d]

Brad has several guys in mind at #46 and thinks tht at least one of them will be there. #57 is just a crap shoot.

At pick 46 you’re lucky if there’s any nba players remaining

That's silly. Will be plenty of players, just none will help this year. Could be like Hauser (USFA) or they could be Mader, Begarin, Watson

You've been going hard on Luke and al all day.

How do they do that without going into the second apron?

[jfs1000d]

it'd be nice if for once brad could just move up and get the guy he wants instead of missing out on his guy twice with KJ & now Flemming.

If Fleming was guy they would have taken him at 28. lol

Good, Thiero gone..another guy I didn't want lol.

My Best prospects available:

Bogoljub Markovic
Maxime Raynaud
Kam Jones
Chaz Lanier
Koby Brea
Alex Toohey
Javon Small
Jamir Watkins
Amari Williams

[themoneyteam2]

My guess is Chaz Lanier or Koby Brea are guys they're taking if they're still there at 46.

[Kalela]

I am surprised no one picked Raynaud yet. It would be funny if Golding gets drafted before him.

[165bows]

Do we have the actual trade details?

A possible issue at 32 for Boston is that whoever you take there you really have to value like a 1st b/c they’re going to want the full 2nd Round Exception salary and for tax reasons you might want to fill a roster spot with a drafted guy who will accept the rookie minimum instead

Exactly. Unless they were stashing Gonzo (oh my god. I made the nickname) you don't want the freakin salary. It's stupid. Just take two two way players or even two stashes. Enough with this whining about second round draft picks. They all suck.

Too bad we can't have Danny for drafts and Brad for trades. Now that, would be a helluva POBO. PS, I still love Brad, but not impressed with his drafting, but also, I loved the Baylor pick. Hell, he's got me all over the place.
