Minny & Cavs 2025 picks watch thread

The Jazz Wonderbra said:
If the draft were today...

The Jazz would get the 30th pick, 20th pick, and we would be in the bottom 5 assuming no one jumps us.

I expect the cavs will come back down to earth, the wolves, will rise, and the jazz should be strong candidates for a bottom 5 finish.

From what I understand we would be guaranteed to be in the bottom 5

Not guaranteed, no. We're currently sitting tied for third worst record with PHI and WAS (MIL and TOR are worse, but all have two wins).
 
With the Thunder having so many injuries and the Cavs incredibly hot start, it's going to be hard for them to drop below the 2nd best record in the NBA. It's probably them or the Celtics at this point. I know GSW and PHX have started hot too, but it's hard to see them keeping that pace up in the West compared to the Cavs.

Just pray for more Minnesota losses. It's taken a surprisingly long time for Divicenzo to find a rhythm. Once he (if) he does, Minny will be very good.
 
Yeah, curious to see if GSW have the horses to keep this going. Curry has been insane, but he tends to have stretches of below average play, which will cause losses with this roster I think.
 
DDV and McDaniels are shooting 30% and 27% from 3 respectively. Conley aging isnt the issue (though obviously it isnt great, but they knew that was coming). Randle's shooting isnt the issue. It's those two. When/if they come around, the Wolves will be a great team. If they dont' the Wolves are probably a late playoff team/high seed play in.

Also Gobert just isnt as good anymore. Age is catching up to him a bit. You cant blame it all on spacing.

Vibes are looking bad in Minny right now, wonder if Ainge will swoop in to give the perfect locker room player to calm the storm again

Bruh. It’s a long con. He gave them enough hope that they extended Rudy and Mike. Traded KAT too. You thought this was a tech stock… it’s a growth stock that gonna pay dividends for years to come.
 
Things aren’t getting better for the Wolves. Conley has met Father Time, Rudy is old, they have pick between Randle and Reid, they might lose NAW, and they don’t have ways to replace any of these guys.

What happens next? Ant gets frustrated after realizing they have already peaked and demands a trade. Who do the TWolves trade him for? They trade him for the picks they can guarantee will be very good. They trade for their own picks back and start their tank.

In a year I will quote this post and gloat ;)

I think they will be fine. That Detroit pick actually might convey this year lol. Gives them something to move. I bet Randle ends up opting in. Likely have to choose between Naz and NAW though as budget won't allow. They may not be a powerhouse but they will be mid as long as Ant and Rudy are somewhat healthy. They need Rob to be good sooner than later and he may not be able to survive on an NBA court defensively. Maybe by 2027 some frustrations sink in and the rot starts to happen.

You're an idiot. Ant-Flagg-Lauri is 100% a thing that will happen.

I’m rock hard
 
Watching Minny games I’m convinced Randle is the biggest issue. He and Rudy just don’t go together. The only thing that will save their season is if Finch has the balls to start Naz Reid and bring Randle off the bench

Absolutely. Randle-ANT does not work too as they totally destroy the ball movement.... tonight Rudy was great, did not see the ball much but was great in defense. Mike was average, seems to find his rhythm but does not play well when Randle- ANT keep the ball way too long then throw a grenade to others when they can't shoot. They win but they we very lucky playing the Clips without Nowell and Kahwi. If Finch don't make big change, they will not be in the play off-in considering how West is tough. This year is a good year for being bad !
