Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[Handlogten's Heros]

SAS with Lauri would be my title favorites assuming Wemby health and additional moves to flesh out bench.

Nah... OKC would still be my favorite. They would land top 3-4 maybe.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

A big question if I am the Spurs and looking to add star power now is TIMELINE. I am going to have to pay Wemby in 28. That is Lauri's last year under his current contract. If Lauris contract ended the year before Wemby gets his bag I think he would be more attractive but a big expiring contract is typically easiest to move in the final year if you must.

If Spurs are big game hunting then it is Giannis, Lauri, Durant, then maybe Zion in that order.

Jaylen Brown ahead of Lauri.

Stevens is about to fleece someone in a Brown trade....please don't let it be us.

Matt Moore rumors:

-Fears is having monster workouts and interviews and his floor is 6
-Magic are trying to get a guy who makes around $25m (it's probably Simons from Portland)

I am ready for Fears at 5.

Wrong, Lauri will have two years on his deal left when Wemby's max starts.

Anyway, again, the issue is that Lauri just wasn't good last year.

Jaylen Brown won Finals MVP last year, do you guys realize how stupid you sound.

 

[KqWIN]

Touting Brown's Final's MVP is a self report.

Not a very encouraging quote for fans of Tre Johnson and Ace Bailey and very much a quote for VJ and Kon fans.

Tre is kind of soft and Ace is very much not a team-first guy. VJ and Kon are very team focused and tough.

Probably a positive quote for Fears to the Jazz fans.

Anyway, people who have thought it was going to be Ace or Tre and only those guys as options should really be preparing for the potential of Fears, VJ, or Kon (though this quote doesn't stop it from being Ace or Tre, just makes them less likely)
