Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Adding the Lakers 2027 is an overpay IMO. Taking George and giving them Lauri (you can debate his value but if the Sixers are doing this.....they value him) and 21 this year, means the next piece of draft comp is a couple of seconds or a trash/projected late 1st here soon from MIN or CLE.

Trust me, I would love to do the deal without adding in extra picks. I just don’t know how realistic that is. Are we going to walk away from the deal over it?

I kinda of agree with the general premise of this. We gotta stop thinking about "winning the deal" and just think about if a trade leaves us in a better or worse spot.

Side note, I think Brice can be part of the sweetner for PHI if we want to include less pick compensation. PHI would have a hard time getting a shooter like Brice on a contract that cheap.

I'd be furious if we passed Coward at 21

Yes and no. Doesn't necessarily mean we have to overpay for the mystery box. I'd say Minny pick or Lakers pick and I would hold the line a bit there. PG may be completely cooked. If he was healthy to start the season you might recycle him for something shorter.

I think Newell is a little underrated, but he is extremely boring as a prospect. John Collins with a messed up a finger.

I’d prefer to keep Brice

I don’t get the Coward hype

I mean, he doesn’t pass the Could He Anchor a Defense or Spread the Floor test. That’s not an NBA rotation player.

To be clear: you prefer to keep Brice over two 1sts?

I would rather add one of our young players. We’re at a roster crunch while being very far away from contending at the same time. We need to favor pushing the timeline out right now when we can.

A team like Philadelphia would also prefer known quantities more than late picks, too.

I mean, maybe, yeah. That '27 pick has real value and itsnt just a toss in IMO.

Not over two firsts. Over 21? Yes.

I’d move off Cody or Keyonte before Brice but I am a Brice stan.
