2025 NBA Season

[FanEagle]

I couldn't even keep track of who went there last night, %60+ of all picks have been traded last night, I knew that this draft was more like couple players and rest are trash but I didn't know what could be the reason why everyone traded it for something better in the future, I can understand the teams that didn't want to draft now and get a pick later but I do not understand teams that took those picks.

The only good trade last night was Atlanta and new Orleans where pelicans sent Solomon hill which had a 12+ million contract and gave number 4 pick for it which created a great gap for them in the small forward spot. From a team with just Jrue and AD they turned it into a team with Jrue-Lonzo-Ingram-Randle-hart- and now Zion. They have an amazing future ahead, I hope they will be capable of getting Dangelo Russel and show Lakers what they have missed with that team.

He is the prince that was promised! We the north hehehe.

No, he is the king now, so a King will definitely stay to rule his kingdom.
I am sure Leonard will change his mind, he maybe was not expecting that he will be champion the last off season but things happened, the world of basketball are surprised with things that happened, but him getting the love from the big fan based of the Raptors, not wise to refuse that and find another team to play.

As I said before.
He aint that type. He doesnt have an attachment with any player or any team.
He doesnt control where he will go. He got a management behind him and this people want some money and not how Kawhi think.
Besides, Kawhi do agree with that as long as he could play basketball.
He is a winner and any team he will go he gives them a chance for a shot in a championship.

Again, as long as the Raptors can best all the offer that will be given then they might close a deal with Uncle Dennis.

I agree with Reid,

Kawhi is a cold blooded beast and he don't give a damn fuck to what will other people say and think about him, he only wants to play basketball and he also doesn't care about legacy even though he's already a future hall of famer. I don't know why team hopping for Kawhi is not an issue or hated by the people compare to LeBron, or maybe it's normal in the NBA nowadays

Let's leave trade talks at the moment. What do you guys think of the new bloods next season? Pelicians became an interesting team again after selecting Zion as their first pick. Interesting young line up with that team. Nuggets also got a big young man in bol bol.

I think the Nuggets had good big men and I don't think they need another one unless they make a trade.

Regarding Zion, I think so that he can work well with Lonzo Ball. Why? The point guard of Duke is not of a scorer and more of a playmaker. Ball's IQ and Zion's athletic ability could be a deadly combination. We'll see next season what they could do.

The trade talks plus this new players are spicing things up even more. If the nuggets can keep their team intact for the next season, they may reach the west finals. The Pelicians may look exciting with their young and athletic team but I think they'll fall short and not rrach playoffs.

Zion will be tested after pairing with Ball, this combo needs to click out in order to bring good chances for the team to be more competitive, there's a lots of trades and newcomers around, it will be the best time for this young rookie and the traded star to combine both talents and skills together providing their worth inside this league.

Not expecting that much but it's worth to watch if they will be able to improve the franchise status from last season.

This gets me pump for next season. Ball didn't show his true potential in Lakers, well at least a glimpse. But with a new team I'm sure he will try to prove that he really belong to the NBA and together with Zion they could be a force to reckon next season. I just hope that someone will guide them at least so that we won't see their talent wasted at least if we see some potentials in their first year as a duo.

Experience does matter and only good teams that performs or plays well do have that chance on getting some slot on the playoffs.
Next season would really be an interesting one because we would see these young players which do have actually the talents that are really capable.

Now Grizzlies have Ja Morant. Two beastly pointguard is now at their floor.
Edit: Oh sorry, they are trading Conley. So Morant can now focus on being point.
Mike Conley trade for - Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder (whoa!) and 23rd 2019 draft pick plus 2020 first round pick.

Knicks good addition for RJ Barrett. Wow. Then, Dennis Smith Jr. is there too. It is going to be a hyped Knicks fanbase again.  
Spike Lee is already hyped.

Pelicans Zion, with the 3 young guns from the Lakers trade.
1. Lonzo Ball
2. Jrue Holiday
3. Josh Hart
4. Brandon Ingram
5. Zion Williamson
Not a bad line up. Just needs some polishing.

But who is really on the trend now?
The 44th draft pick for the Miami Heat and then traded to Denver. Bol Manute Bol. Let us see what this big guy can do in NBA. Will he surpass his father?!

[FlightyPouch]

New blood will be getting spilled in the next season, I hope that will be great since we will be seeing new great players and how will be the next NBA shift from now on. Some say Zion will be the leading man here but I see more great players. I don't know if anyone can recognize here that Bol Bol, son of Manute Bol is drafted and I think he is underrated. Maybe from his injury but I think he will be a great player. A 7ft player with the hands of a good Shooting guard, that would be great.

[harizen]

Watch out for De'Andre Hunter of the Atlanta Hawks (drafted by Lakers but part of the Lakers-Pelicans trade). Can't wait to see their backcourt duo with Trae Young. Hawks are lacking a good role player around the SF position for quite some time now so I'm expecting Hunter will fill the gaps.

Cleveland Cavaliers really wants to have a piece of Hunter but since they are behind Lakers, they picked Garland instead.

Atlanta Hawks really has a nice set of picks this draft class but due to trade talks, I don't know how they will end up. Literally, like a Lakers back then, full of young players.

But if the chemistry works it will be a good piece of art. Young guns taking over the NBA, but they will have to go thru some pioneers and one example is Kawhi which aint normal when the game is on hand.

That huge of a player like Bol and Zion are prone to injuries in their feet and that is why I also didnt mention a lot about Zion. It will be a good thing if he could land on his feet every game like Lebron does.
That is also why I will go for RJ Barrett. This guy almost have the perfect figure. Polishing his skills will be easy as long as he will not be injured.
He can also get the best record if he could perfect the attendance in each game instead having a monster game but with incomplete game played.
He have that "Pippen like" figure which is almost perfect.

Oh! Let us not forget the curse of the 1st pick.

The 44th draft pick for the Miami Heat and then traded to Denver. Bol Manute Bol. Let us see what this big guy can do in NBA. Will he surpass his father?!

I knew it, I remember the surname Bol as a tall NBA players in the past, I saw some highlights from this center but I don't think his son will be better than him, but anyway that's remain to be seen, I just don't see the body and his height is just 7′ 2″, we have that height in the NBA with bigger body.

He is the one who is trending right now aside from Zion who is now in the Pelicans.

Like father, like son indeed . I think the Nuggets can use him along with Jokic and if these 2 can synchronize with each other, they can be the twin towers of the Nuggets. The only thing that I see is that maybe Bol Bol is prone to injury especially his lower body because of his tallness but it can be prevented as he gets experience. I like to see this player be like Yao Ming.

[Bttzed03]

I heard some rumors that the Clippers have locked up Kahwi.  If the move will happen, it'll be fun to see the clippers vs. lakers battle for the top team in L.A.

This guy will be also be lucky to be mentored by a fun guy champ and an MVP.

48. Clippers draft Terance Mann

56.  Clippers draft Jaylen Hands (officially traded to Brooklyn Nets)

[freedomgo]

Rumors could happen, but this one, I think it's less likely to happen as Raptors would do everything to keep the "Klaw".

Bol Bol is not as tall as his father but even with that fact he is a tall guy with a good shot, the problem seems to be his medicals. Normally he was seen around as a lottery pick but the medicals came out bad. Not like just now bad but as in its a lifelong thing bad where when someone is too tall and their legs rub against each other their knees get too weak eventually crack which for example what took Yao Ming out so early in his career, Yao could have played another 5 years if he was healthy.

So, any team that actually wants to have Bol Bol will have few good years with him for sure but dude will be at most 10 season player if not less. That is why nobody really wanted to pick him even though he is a good player. Denver seems to have a great medical team so they will do their best but suns has the best medical team I am sure they could have max his potential.

[rosezionjohn]

Nuggets also got a big young man in bol bol.

I think the Nuggets had good big men and I don't think they need another one unless they make a trade.

Why not? The new addition could shoot well also. In today's game, any big who could spread the floor, protect the rim, and score inside is a great addition.

[Theb]

With the first three picks seems locked and secured all teams are inquiring the availability of the 4th pick which is supposed to be Darius Garland. New Orleans are more likely to give it away for anyone who will offer up the best veteran player in exchange for it. I don't know who or for what team it will be traded for but as Woj said it will be a busy draft night for the teams and fans since every pick, 4th and onwards are all made available by the teams who are not satisfied to what player is available in their turn.

^I was on point when I said that the 4th pick will be traded but I didn't expect that New Orleans did the wrong route by just taking up lower picks in exchange for it. They don't look like they want to build up with something for Zion Williamson this year so they have pick other rookies in the draft. Also I was really expecting that Minnesota will be the one who will get it and draft Garland but things didn't work out and got the 6th pick and land Culver which they say is an NBA ready prospect in the draft, looking forward on seeing him in summer league and see what he could bring to the team.

The era of his father is different so it's possible that he can surpass him. There's a lot of leg room for the younger one to develop his NBA career so let's see what he can offer to us, specially with that height. He can be a good big man shooting the ball outside to help Denver to confuse the opposing team.
