Game Thread NBA Draft Lottery - May 12, 2025

[Thee Jazz Fan]

How do we even get out of being completely **** for the next 5+ years? Honestly? We're apparently going into year 4 of Ryan Smith's plan to get the Jazz's championship......

The actual garbage teams of the Jazz, Wizards, Hornets, and the Nets will all be taking dumps every game again next season.

NAH, I think teams are gonna start realizing that you don’t necessarily want to be a top four team in the lottery

We are still getting VJ at 5. Hornets don't really need him.

Of course we are. He went to Baylor. Lindsey probably intervened with us getting #1 just so we could take on another Waco ********.

Locke and his ******** garbage *** AI song

Is it worth moving up from 5 to 3?

I don't think so. I think Ace, Tre and VJ are essentially the same tier, unless one of them is amazeballs in the pre-draft process.

 

[Miggs]

How good are the top 2-4 players next season?

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

we'll get whoever is the worst fit for our franchise. bet on it

Tre is the player the Jazz seem to gravitate too. They love drafting scorers and Tre of the top 5 prospects is the top scorer of the bunch.

And you know it's not the market. The league just has a list of teams they really like. Where is San Antonio? First Wemby and now 2nd pick. It's not like people are lining up to buy their merch or tickets.

The Jazz will be in Vegas by 2028.

Nah. The community loves the Jazz and the Smiths can monetize both the basketball and hockey franchises with the same investments.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Any chance the Hornets are dumb enough to take Trey over Edgecomb?

 

[Rubashov]

This **** is fixed!!!

 

[LogGrad98]

Oh, so San Antonio became a new Cleveland for conspiracy theorists as a small market team that the NBA is hellbent on flooding with rigged top picks?

You are obviously way behind on this conversation. Feel free to search for it and catch yourself up. Basically you're wrong on every part of it.

San Antonio has moved up 3 drafts in a row.
