Following Potential 2025 Draftees

[fishonjazz]

Asking price will be high, but it sounds like the Spurs would move the pick if you belive Amico. Cue the Lauri Markkanen rumor. Suns might be in play with KD.

Makes sense for spurs and jazz imo

I got the gist of this from a Spurs forum. They are enamored with the idea of getting Durant.

The Suns want to win and get younger.

They jazz can take contracts so long as we move up in the draft.

Essentially this gets the Spurs Kevin Durant and Kon or Tre or Ace in exchange for dropping 3 spots and 7 spots.

The suns get off Durant and get Lauri back. I am sure they will want something else in this deal. Not sure what, but they get off of a 36 year old diva for an all star that fits their timeline. Maybe they get the 21st pick?

There is a lot to like for all 3 teams if you buy the Durant to Spurs rumors.

Maybe the spurs want Durant but I wouldn't if I were them. He is too old imo. They are ready to compete for a title yet. I would rather have Lauri if I were them

I'm less excited about Harper than I was before, but it's likely because I haven't watched any of his film or thought about him for the Jazz in a long time. At one point I would have considered getting Harper a genuine franchise building block, but I'm not sure any more.

If there are any real legs to Utah trading up to grab Harper I'll go watch some video and get hyped again. For now I'm content to not be worried about losing out on him.

Leif said he has Tre number 2 on his board

From Tre to Deuce, if you will.

Amick is the reputable one. Idk about Amico

Idk, with the news Harper isn't just working out for SAS, there has to be legitimacy to the Spurs not being 100% in on drafting Harper

It also just makes logical sense that a team who feels they are ready to compete sooner than later would not want to wait on a young guard to get up to speed. Harper might be Cade, but even Cade took 3 years to become a positive player and 4 years to be a really difference making player. And that's likely the best case scenario.

If I'm SAS, I go get Durant if I think I can put enough depth around the team to win it all next year. I go get Lauri if I think the depth will be a little bit of a slower build.

I think Kas is being slept on. I would trade Key for him without blinking. I think he could play at a high level in the NBA even though he will have warts. Poor man’s Harden but tries (without much success) on defense. If he falls late lottery go get him.

Me too

Nah, wouldn't even take him at 21
