Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Thong with PG is he might be cooked. Played 74 games in the contract year and outside of that he is like 30-50 games per year over the last 5. With teams and spending getting tighter I really push to get something good for taking that on. That value has to be heavily weighted in the deal.

It is heavily weighted. We are getting the 3rd overall pick while keeping 5th.

I then wonder if San Antonio would rather have 3/5 or 2/14. What would you rather have?

The amount of chucking with Tre and Ace makes me queasy lol, but if you really think those two represent the highest potential players two bites at the apple is better than one.

Me personally, I don't think you compromise potential if select VJ, but it would be nice to get a different kind of player in our building. It seems like he's the heavy favorite there from CHO fans, so I'd assume if we want VJ we must take him at 3.

I like Ace and Tre better than VJ but if we're getting 2 of the three then I would want VJ and one of the other two just for roster balance and fit. Key is a chucker and Tre and ace are chuckers. VJ would provide sometime a little different.

Back in the day you used to be able to put stuff there. Not sure if you can anymore. I’ve have it there for at least 10+ years lol.

Lol. Took me only 2.5 years to process/register.

Re-routing Paul George to Milwaukee for Damian Lillard and their 2031 unprotected firsts makes so much sense too.

Makes sense for who? Certainly not for Milwaukee.

Ooohhhhh now that is getting spicy.
I have a tough time with that question. Curious to hear others thoughts.
Which pick combo would you rather have?

Mentioned this trade before....if we're being realistic about the value of Lauri, this is probably closer to the value than just PG+#3 for Lauri. Taking PG off their hands is a huge favor, though some would consider Lauri to also be a negative contract.

I would like to try to loop in MIL here. If Giannis wants to stay, Dame for PG could be a move. But I'm fine with taking on the PG contract and figuring out what to do with it later.

If we had #3 and #5, I think you'd just take VJ at #3 and then take whoever is leftover between Ace and Tre at #5?

I’d hope to come out with VJ and Ace, specifically.

If it keeps Giannis happy it certainly does. Lillard is out for the year.

#2 gets Jazz their franchise player
Then #14 Jazz may get another player maybe as good as #5

They can do a lot better than that with that pick. Let’s be reasonable. They’d be doing us a favor as much or more than us doing them a favor.

Yeah we're not getting a pick in a PG for Dame spot. We're saying thank you, welcoming Dame to the tank as he rehabs, and enjoying the fact that Dame will be an expiring contract one year sooner.
