2024-25 NBA Thread: defeated Minnesota fan ready to move on to next crushing disappointment (30 Viewers)

[Long Ball Larry]

It’s an interesting win soon trade for Portland. I didn’t think they were that far in their rebuilding.

I don’t think they are. Cronin started off fairly well there and has done some ok things in his time, but on the whole his moves and strategy seem subpar

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Looks like that trade gets Portland below the first apron, so i suppose that is another reason for them to do it

 

[Frostillicus]

Bronny has the most bets on him to be the #1 overall pick? But oddsmakers have him going to the lakers.

Where are you getting this from?

 

[scoobus]

Please don't spoil the picks tonight, d-bags.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Stephen A Smith is the most insufferable human alive. Thank the lord for multiple channel options

 

[Frostillicus]

Yearly reminder to please not post picks before they have happened on TV because you read it on Twitter. No one is impressed and it ruins the fun.

BRONNY NUMBER 1!!

 

[Mister CIA]

Reeshahshay #1.

 

[Frostillicus]

I don't like this guy's name. He should change it to Zack Richards.

 

[Mister CIA]

Zaxby!

 

[scoobus]

Solid 3 and D wing, pretty wooooof for a #1 overall pick.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Richard Jefferson ... "the Wizards can pick anyone and it will help them"

 

[scoobus]

Great pick.

 

[Jayrod]

So France may be a real threat to USA basketball going forward?

 

[Mister CIA]

Sarr #2.

Houston with a key pick inbound.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Alex Sarr and Bilal Couilibaly ... DC has gone French. We should surrender by game 12 next season.

 

[Major]

Sarr #2.

Houston with a key pick inbound.

About as expected thus far. Houston is a question mark. If they don't trade the pick, I think it's Sheppard.

Ron Holland seems like a Houston guy.

Well not at the moment

 

[SayWhat?]

Hoping the Wolves land either Shannon or Scheierman, someone that can step in and provide 10-15 minutes a game immediately.

 

[Frostillicus]

Hoping for one of those two, Collier, or Kolek,

 

[Mister CIA]

Stephon Castle to SA. I approve. Work on that lob, Stephon.

 

[scoobus]

Dunno if I love it, he can't shoot. Obviously if he learns it's a homerun, but that's a big if IMO.

 

[Jayrod]

Like it for SAS. Should be fun to watch them defend.

 

[massraider]

Klingan is dressed like he's on his way to a bachelorette party.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Those Detroit executives don't seem the happiest of fellows.

Kolek would be great too.

 

[Mister CIA]

Hoping for Devin Carter at 8.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Detroit is focusing in on ronholland…
Now they are circling him

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Fred Vinson is really going to have to earn his money between holland and Ausar

 

[trader jake]

Those Detroit executives don't seem the happiest of fellows.

They had a miscommunication on a handshake, passed up offers to trade out, then took an upside pick on a player that currently can't shoot. Very Pistons of them.

Oh, and they don't have a head coach yet.

 

[Mister CIA]

All right, Detroit! Ron Holland is coming to town.

 

[scoobus]

Lol 24% from 3 last year, perfect Pistons pick.

He does have upside though. But man, poor Cade.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

His dad is a chef. He invented hollandaise sauce

 

[trader jake]

Lol 24% from 3 last year, perfect Pistons pick.

He does have upside though. But man, poor Cade.

I believe Holland was asked about his competitiveness and he said he gets it from his uncle's side.

 

[nysfl2]

Not a fan of the holland pick

 

[SayWhat?]

Even though he can’t shoot, I don’t mind the Holland pick. In a crappy draft, shoot for the stars. He has League level talent, but it’s going to take a couple years to realize.

 

[Mister CIA]

Viva Charlotte!

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Interesting pick by Charlotte. Not a bad idea

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Not a fan of the holland pick

Who would you have picked there?

 

[Major]

Not a fan of the holland pick

Seems like a reach considering all their needs but who knows. This draft is wide open with a bunch of mid level prospects.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Big man said hey let me get a little something there, discount Sydney Sweeney

 

[Long Ball Larry]

“There’s a French connection”

 

[scoobus]

Salaun is suuuuuuuuuper raw.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

“There’s a dalton knecht-ion” - rj soon, probably

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Woj should really consider learning how to actually talk

 

[Major]

Knecht would be a great pick for the Spurs. I hope that doesn't happen.

 

[scoobus]

Clingan to Portland seems kinda confusing, but maybe they hate Ayton now too like the rest of us?

 

[Jayrod]

What is Clingan's ceiling? Gobert, Capela, Plumlee?

 

[mr. furley]

what channel are you guys seeing Woj, SAS, etc. on?

ESPN has none of those dudes
