Following Potential 2025 Draftees

This is absolutely nowhere close to the value needed, guys. We're going to have to sell the farm to move up to #2. Even if San Antonio doesn't like Harper, they're going to want to move him for Giannis.

It would take 5, 21, the 2031 Suns pick, our best 2027 pick, Lauri, and Filipowski.

LOL if that's what they ask then nah... we will make an offer in a year when either Fox or Harper has less value.
 
Also I am looking for a deal that is in the value range that we would say yes to... the most I can see us offering in terms of straight picks, prospects is like #5, Suns pick, Lakers pick and one of Key/Brice/Flip... and that is an overpay... is Austin the opposite of pappa?

There also generally seems to be two types of team attitude on stuff like this... either they are willing to move #2 and its for something somewhat fair... or they just aren't willing to discuss it.

Sixers are going to try and move that pick to max its value... they will be interested in everyone and everything in the reports. There will also be reports they want to stay at #3 because the like XYZ. Draft night I bet they move back though. May not be with us but it would make some sense if we love Ace or VJ.

They are going to rob NOP, I just know it.

Based on what historical precedent?

To go back a couple years, the Thunder offered basically everything to move up to #3 to get Evan Mobley (and Evan Mobley desperately wanted to go to OKC and told the Cavs not to draft him) and the Cavs told the Thunder to go **** themselves.


You have to just overwhelm teams to pick guys in ranked in tier 1 or so. Giannis is also going to ask for a trade after the Bucks strike out in free agency and having a billion bleh assets is so much worse than having Harper.

That would be a little bit more than precedent, but I'd still do it. I think if we go for Harper we gotta find a home for Lauri.

The biggest thing here is just if SAS is actually open to trading it and/or Harper doesn't want to be there.

If we're talking about a situation where SAS loves Harper and doesn't want to trade him and Harper wants to be there, yes it will take that much. Nobody is talking about that scenario. What you listed was way more than what was stated in that article BTW. I think your points would come across better if you weren't so hyperbolic.

Even if they don't love Harper, they need to keep Harper in case Giannis asks for a trade. These small scale trade don't make any sense when the Spurs are probably looking to trade this pick for a star to win right now.

You realize nobody is talking about that either. Of course they will prefer Giannis. If not Giannis, who else is there to win right now?

Zion untradeable right now... Joe wants to make a splash. Herb or Trey and 7 for 3 and stuff... yeah I can see it. Or 7 and a future unprotected pick for 3... makes sense. Some dumbass PG13 trade where they actually trade for like Clips contract year PG... yup.

Austin, Justin, and Danny all need to call NOP DAILY.

And Giannis says he wants to stay another year... they draft Harper... He doesn't play as much as a rookie as expected from a #2 pick. A year later would they rather have a different asset plus a fluid pick to use in a star trade?

I think they end up getting Herb to trade down to #7. They'll take Kon who they probably wanted anyways.

There's a long list of teams we need to call daily.
