Game Thread 2025 NBA Draft - June 25th & 26th, 2025 - 6PM MT

Was kind of weird Portland of all teams with them having Clingan. They got to get rid of Ayton somehow.

There has to be some serious red flags with Clingan for them to completely undercut him for Yang. Look for Portland to try and stealth offload Clingan next season.

I think they just like Yang. Both players might have issues playing major minutes due to their size, so they can split minutes well. Then pick the one to go with long term and trade the other when it comes time for 2nd contracts.

They're not undercutting Clingan. They can develop both as long as they get rid of Ayton/Timelord.

I wonder if the Lakers would be desperate enough for a big to just take on Ayton.

Contract year Ayton could be a beast. Honestly kind of love it for them.

You don't have to convince me but Clingan. It's not a good feeling having your replacement drafted a year after your drafted.

Yang at 16. Bold. I read that the blazer have the DraftExpress guy at the helm and been watching Yang for two years. Might have been a smart move.

I need another trade

We need 3 more trades

Not unlike the Jazz with Gobert, Favors and Kanter.

Bill Simmons also like the Ace pick

Wait. So Fleming fell to the second round?

And someone please remind me why did we give up that 31st pick again?
