2025 NBA Draft Thread, Part 2 – Capture the Flagg

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?

I mean, can you really know that? Not a single person thought Nikola Jokic, picked 41st, would be better than almost everyone picked before him in the 2014 draft.

So going with that logic is a bit unrealistic. We could've drafted Kalkbrenner, thrown him to the fire this upcoming season and he sure as hell could've turned out better than Kornet.

Do we have the actual trade details?

They send a 2026 most favorable second-rounder of Detroit, Milwaukee, Orlando;
2027 second is most favorable of Orlando and Boston.

[Dogen]

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

Chaz would be the shiz at 46.

It's hilarious that so many people were clamoring for Raynaud and his "first round talent why did Brad pass on him" when he's still there at 40

[redslastlaugh]

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.

I dunno man... I remember Mitch Robinson, Miles McBride and Jalen Brunson kicking our ass a few weeks ago

[djFan71]

2026 one could be decent again. Giannis dependent.

[phincsfan]

Could be a good pickup for the Pistons

[jfs1000d]

I can't help but think if Brad picked Fleming at 28 then Hugo would still be there at 32. I don't believe he really wanted Fleming. He is probably aiming for Javon Small.

Maybe not, it other issue is Hugo may never come over because he isn't being paid enough. This is a baseless argument.

None of this moves are franchise altering. It is about protecting roster and salary management while taking a chance on it panning out.

Because we who watch college basketball see Kalkbrenner as a stiff who can't move on defense and is incredibly soft. But cool he's 7-2!

gone

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.

Baylor is his only pick. I mean other than Hugo, who can't be judged. So he's 1 for 1.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Chaz just went

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

Yeah. I liked his shooting, but I guess with Hugo on board, that wouldn't have happened anyway. At this point, I am fully prepared for disappointment.

Hugo is coming over. So not sure what you're saying...

[Dogen]

My namesake Maxime is in freefall!

Be that as it may, I will vent as I see fit based on my own biases. I wanted him to pick at 32, and not trade back for the pupu platter, which he also did a couple of years ago, and we ended up with Walsh, who has thus far been a bust. He's not one for one. He gets no credit for trading down.

[themoneyteam2]

But I was told first round talent Raynaud should've been the pick at 28. Why is he still on the board at 40?!

[Hal14]

Looking like at least 1 of these bigs will be there at 46 for us...my preference:

1) Markovic
2) Raynaud
3) Amari Williams

2026 one could be decent again. Giannis dependent.

If they don’t hit a legit home run this summer that team will stink even with Giannis imo.
