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

Evan also told me to watch for Brown to Utah... so he's already 0/1 on his DMs.

I remember Evan Sidery from the time he was trying to be "insider" for the Colts in the NFL(my team in the NFL). Don't quote me on this but AFAIR he wasn't thought of as particularly reliable at the time. Then he transitioned into NBA reporting... no idea how reliable he is there. I've seen people quoting him on reddit NBA but it feels more like some aggregated news rather than original reporting for the most part. I honestly wouldn't take what he's saying as anything of substance, unless he's aggregating a legit reporter...

According to Shams, Minny is auctioning the 1st pick of the 2nd round. I would love Fleming.

A lot of teams may want that pick
Is there a limit they have to stay at

Zero reliability is what I have always assumed lol. I do like that he messages me unsolicited tho lol. We will see

I can't believe @Saint Cy of JFC got Yang drafted 16th. What does Schmitz know?

He knows ball

Issue is you have to help them to get the pick.

It;s funny to listen to the reactions to the Yang pick. EVeryone is calling him a huge project. I saw the dude outplay every center at the combine. He's not that big of a project.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Ahhh, and there it is... Of course, I would have been fine with Tre Johnson, but at least we put the hesi on the Hornets.

Its a wild fit though. I wonder if there is some marketing reasons they wanted him. I think it was a reach but they did get a nice premium for moving back.

Its official, the Jazz pulled a Kon on both the Wizards and the Hornets.

I mean, I wanted Yang here with Walker. I think it's a nice mix of offense/defense with Clingan/Yang then you figure out which player works best for whatever it is you end up building.

Blazers still dont have their "engine" type of player on offense, so maybe Yang develops into that and you have all these athletic wings/guards around him. Or maybe Scoot develops and he's a nasty PNR player with Clingan.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz could still use a playmaker with some size--Kam Jones, Sion James, Kobe Sanders, maybe Micah Peavy.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Funny story... Evan Sidery has started DMing me randomly. He is just an aggregator but told me to watch out for Sexton to Miami. So we can see if he is full of **** too.

KAS LFGGG

KAS LFGGG

There is no way they would trade Kas for Sexton.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Sorry, your source? They’re going to have to trade something of any value to get Sexton.

Besides, I’m kinda trolling.

So @Elizah Huge and I have someone (not Tony) who told us that if Ace was gone it would have been Fears. So wasn't a full smokescreen. I think disguising their interest in Ace/Kon worked to their advantage though. Danny really liked Fears supposedly.

I heard that somewhere else as well. Dodged a bullet there…

If Jazz had to take Fears then no Clayton

Suns don't own their 2nd round picks until 2032 and the only 2nd round picks they acquired through trade belong to Golden States/Denver/Boston/Houston, none of which would even come close to top 40. Just what the hell are the Nets thinking? Surely we could've beat the Suns offer. Any team should've.

 

[KqWIN]

I don't expect a trade and that's fine, but if we ended up with Thiero or Penda it would give me hope that the FO actually values defense/IQ.
