Hope he ends up with the Spurs

Below average athlete? 😅😅😅 are you blind?

Golden state trade their 2030 pick top 20 protected. So they only two unprotected picks available to trade.

Would it change your option on trading Lauri if the offer from golden state was 2 first unprotected and maybe a swap or protected pick top 20 I think because that is the best they can offer right now they only have 2 first available to trade the third is tied up. Also the jazz arguably have to many swaps as is so I don’t think they value pick swaps as much as other teams.

Man this take was terrible

How did he do last night?

The only reason why Jazz are considering trading Lauri is that they feel like they can't get high pick with him. They like him, he likes to live in Utah (he is Finn, he wouldn't talk so much liking Utah if he really didn't like it), he is all-star caliper player (first player out in his position this year and would have been one easily in east) and they don't have any problem of paying him since they are not paying anybody else at the moment. Truth is that Lauri is more valuable for Jazz than to anybody else (even if he fits pretty much anywhere) and that's why they need super big haul if anyone is gonna get him. Ainge said in the end of the season media that they need one or two players and then they are ready to go big game hunting and if they don't manage that before July then they might need to pivot. That has been the plan whole time. They tried to go after some players but didn't get them. Now we will see what does the "pivot" look like.

the hate on Harrison Barnes is moronic LOL.... ALSO is not a 4 year project the reason WEMBY is so different and ready makes the Spurs push the process really quick and like having a good young QB in the nfl you spend money and build because you will need to pay Wemby later, and i think Spurs will be first to hit the 1B on a contract, if the Spurs suck next season the nba will give them Mr Flagg... also.... Stephon Castle can also turn into a star quick bc of wemby

nice video

The Mac n Cheese disrespect is wild

You can't cross a river without building a bridge. They are building a bridge with vets and enlisting the troops later to crossover.

Guys you're missing the point. There was no way the Spurs are going to make a huge splash and be stupid as Wes points out correctly.

International basketball is a bigger game so I understand the double big lineup but I really do feel like the starting five will be Bron, Curry, Ant, KD and Embiid. A good mix of offense and defense. Youth and experience. The calf strain with KD might cause some problems but I also feel like there could very well be a rotating starting lineup based on who they play

U guys really are off point. Barnes helps with veteran leadership! Defense! And 3 point shooting when wemby is double n triple teamed. Barnes is an almost 40 percent shooter from 3 point range.

The great thing about the 2025 draft is there's a bunch of talented guys coming out that could be great additions to the Spurs. Not just Cooper Flagg. But if they ended up with the #1 pick next year that would be crazy.

You guys are hilarious. Jeremy sochan is absolutely starting at the 4. Defense is the most important factor in who pop gives minutes to.

Spurs starters: PG - Chris Paul SG - Vassell SF - Barnes PF - Sohan C - Wemby Castle starts on the bench and likely starts the Paul "rest" games and takes over before the season ends. Spurs win 40 games! They were winning a lot of 1st halves and falling apart in the 2nd. Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes are winning vets and upgrades from last years starters. They will stabilize things in winning time.

The Spurs' moves been the most interesting to monitor imo. They've done nothing flashy but everything seems ominously calculated and methodical.

What people are not accounting for is that adding CP3 and Barnes will drastically decrease their turnovers. They lost around 15 games last year because they couldn't stop committing turnovers. These two will be steady hands and help control the team and pace. If they and Wemby stay healthy, the Spurs should have wins in the mid to high 30's at least. Their ceiling is probably 42ish. Several western teams who are better than the Spurs got worse. So the Spurs will get extra wins here and there.

Do you think the NBA would explode if the Spurs worked themselves into the number one pick again and put Cooper Flagg alongside Victor? I might have just messed myself; thank goodness I'm wearing the white pants!

Great stuff, i love how last summer everyone was saying Spurs should trade for a star before the Spurs organization had even seen Wemby play a single NBA game. It's about patience and developing the young guys. Spurs are trying to build a dynasty, and most of the times dynasties are built from the draft.

Starting five is gonna be Paul, vessel, Barnes, sochan, and Wemby. Sochan is a four that cuts really well and Wemby could do a lot of high low like what Denver does with Jokic.

In my mind the best starting 5 for the Kings, (as of now), would be Fox, Ellis, Derozan, and Keegan at the 4 because he's put on a lot of muscle and is a very versatile defender, or maybe hide derozan at the 4?? It's tricky. There you have at least 2, (I still consider Fox to be a good defender), so maybe 3 solid defenders in the starting 5

You guys failed to mention Keon Ellis, (edit: you just mentioned him LOL) when he became a starter near the end of the season, they became a top 5 defense in the span he was a starter. He's an absolute beast of POA defender, great wingspan, absolute menace all across the floor. Insanely talented help defender. Complete pest. So really what it boils down to is Ellis and Keegan with them defensively. Alex Len, granted he's a backup center, does provide good rim protection and defense. Fox led the league in steals and is a good defender, him being a - when he's on the floor I personally think is because of players like Huerter and Barnes sharing floor time with him heavily effected that for him imo.

The Wolves got the 8th pick for a steal. A 2031 first and a swap!?

Garland gotta go. He’s way too passive

No not RIGHT !!!! Nobody is agreeing with you when you say right !!! This was one of the best trades I’ve ever seen. So Chris needs to just stop with basketball. Doesn’t have a clue. The other guy is basically the same but Chris is way worse.

Presti's off-season most to bolster OKC - Trading Giddey for Caruso straight up, no picks involved - Drafting Topic ( Top 3 prospect before injury whose the youngest player in the draft as well at 18 ) then added two 6'7 wings/forwards, Jones who is a all-around type player and Mitchell an combo guard whose a shooter - Signing Hartenstein for 3 years then front loading his contract having a player option the last year so they can get the flexibility once Chet & JDub are going to get their rookie scale deals - Resigning both key role players in Joe then Wiggins to team friendly extensions for 4 to 5 years Home Run moves for the Thunder ⚡🆙

Worth the gamble?? This was about as far from a gamble as it gets. The #8 pick for a random pick 7 years from now and a swap 6 years from now. It was like taking candy from a baby.

Pacers fan here--I live in Indianapolis--Mathurin has a lot of physical talent. He also has a killer attitude. He just needs to be healthy this year and get reassimilated back into the team. Signed Siakam and Toppin--very good. Just signed Wiseman as our third big--we will have to see what he can do---low expectations with him so if he exceeds them as our third big then great.

Yes on getting Dillingham.

What was surprising is that the Thunder did not have to use their glut of picks.

Good content. I was nearly certain from the thumbnail that Chris was topless. I'm also bald. I have a beard, but I know that a skin toned shirt isn't a great choice for a Zoom meeting.

Nice skin colored shirt

Getting a top 10 pick for draft picks 6 seasons away is never the wrong move. Baffling that the Spurs would do that

This is a bad move for the Wolves. Gave up way too much for a guard who in reality will probably be nothing more than a one position bench scorer or floor spacer who plays no defense. They could of got this type of player a lot easier but they chose to buy into weird social media optics hype.

The wolves do not really need a big wing tbh. Naz, KAT, and Jaden are more than enough at this point. TSJ is the replacement plan for NAW. Dillingham is the pick for Conley-who will get worse with age. The wolves severely lacked scoring punch last year down the stretch and you can see a shift in emphasis of defense to maybe being a bit more balanced, which could help them get over the hump. Dillingham will probably make them much worse defensively when he is on the floor, Kyle Anderson’s loss will be big for their bench defense. I think the team becomes more interesting though with a better pick and roll partner for Rudy than Ant being added to the mix. (Ant is great obviously, he just has surprisingly bad numbers for PnR, he hasn’t figured it out yet).

Ew this was trash

I would like to have seen OKC take Filipowski from Duke at #12 because he's exactly what they need and a more skilled overall player than Hartenstein but at least they finally are addressing the "elephant in the room" issue that was exposed against Dallas of the need for another big man. I really don't get why they gave away Sengun and Lively though leading up to this because either one would have been perfect, especially Sengun who averaged 21/9/5 last year and will be an all star at some point. That's nuts giving that guy away.

Zach you ll see. Dillon Jones can do it all. His shooting will only get better. A great team player and a winner.

Good show!

How is it a gamble?

Clippers will always be trash.😂😂😂

Salaun fits the needs TBH

There'll be lots of skid marks from defenders trying to keep up (or trying not to get their ankles broken) with this ball-handling wizard. This kid will be exciting to watch.

Would've been neat to see Shannon at #27 and small trade to move back into early 2nd round for Kolek. Rob is high upside and might end up being the best in this draft in 5 years, but they are built for success NOW. Shannon and Kolek are older and will contribute immediately.

These guys are idiots

Wolves need a +IQ to play QB/PG. He also dont put effort on defense. I guess since dude dont eat enough and fake mj eats too much they complete each other?

Landry Fields doesn't know WTF he's doing 😂😂😂😂😂 wow

Some of these are pretty fun, now knowing how the draft went.
