Tatum clearly tore his achilles, but Celtics are stacked and can wait for being ready for next season playoffs
I do think that our 2030 lost a little bit of value tonight, but on the flip side the 2028 swap with Boston might have just become something real. If Tatum is out for this season and next, they’re in a really tough spot with their roster.

Pop would’ve loved this 3-guards offense, with the luxury of a ball handler always on the court. As mentioned Castle has to improve his shooting this summer which I’m sure is on top of his priorities. The next best thing is to draft a mobile big who can shoot. I feel Fleming is the best candidate at 14, very much like Naz Reid with the same 9’1 standing reach who can defend and stretch the floor. And lastly draft a backup center at 2nd round someone like Goldin or that 7’1 French kid.
Keeping Dylan would let the Spurs keep their assets and future picks, and I think it’s the best way to go. I love Cooper Flagg and wouldn’t mind exploring that trade, but it’s not really necessary. If Fleming turns out to be a Naz Reid kind of player, then he’s the best compliment for Wemby and the best consolation for not exploring the trade.
I always wanted either Queen or Sorber at Spurs 1st pick but landing the 2nd overall changes the game plan. Dylan is obviously the 2nd best player on this draft. There’s no universe that you don’t pick him. And those suggesting Bailey, Bailey is a midget compared to Giannis on that video of Giannis teaching Bailey a post up move. Bailey is years behind Dylan and such a big risk at 3rd. No way a GM contemplates picking Bailey over Dylan. But going back to Queen or Sorber. Dylan is the best bet and already a finished product. It would be a galactic risk to trade him other than to Flagg. I don’t like the idea of trading for a 30 yrs old Giannis, but again last night even created that opportunity since Fox, Castle, Giannis and Wemby will be wild! Damn it will be a crazy summer.
They have enormous salary cap issues. This probably gets them to trade a few players with JT being out for a year.
Crazy to me that NY or Indy is making the finals this year. Nobody had that on their bingo card. Now if only Denver can finish off OKC
I actually think our pick swap with the Celtics could turn into something at the same time that I wanted to vomit realizing our Mav pick swap just turned to garbage.
I wouldn't call the Mavs swap garbage, though it did go down in value somewhat. 5 years is a long time in the NBA. The Mavs could end up being bad in 2030 even with Flagg.
After sleeping on it I’m team no big trades. Draft Harper (or Queen, might be the only one left on that train) pick BPA at 14 or even a high potential project. Realistically pick 14 wont be in the rotation much this year and will probably spend time in the gleague. This being a deep draft as Brian Wright and Mitch Johnson both stated I also think pick 38 could be valuable.
The only trades I would want to do would be for rebounding or shooting help. Someone with 3 or less years left on their deal from a team desperate to shed salary. Otherwise use free agency to add some vet shooters and a forward that can rebound.
If no trades roster would look like this
Fox - Harper - Wesley
Castle - Vassell - Branham
Champangie - Johnson - Rookie
Barnes - Sochan - Vet
Wemby - Vet - Rookie
two-way
two-way
two-way
They were a mid major program with nothing else real on the roster.
You never know what Nico would do. They could trade Flagg for Giannis for that AD/Giannis combination. Their window for winning is 2-3 and might not want to wait and sell the whole farm for Giannis and Booker, who knows.
Dallas let Brunson walk FOR NOTHING, and traded Luka for pennies on the dollar. That kind of stupid doesn’t wash out. I’m betting on Flagg not having a career there. Kyrie is already on the shelf, and it won’t be long until Street clothes is, too.
Don't forget about Porzingis, another player they got rid of for nothing.
I think i want a trade for a vet, I just don't wanna go after a top guy like Giannis. Somebody solid that won't cost us a lot of picks, but someone who is solid, fits the culture, but would leave no question that Wemby is our #1. PG13 makes sense to me. Philly will want to move on. As I said earlier I'd do Devin, Keldon, Sochan + 14 for PG +3. Assuming they balk at that, I'd probably do Devin, Keldon +14 for PG13 + 2028 1st (either theirs or LAC).
He'd fill a needed role and provide a veteran presence, but not threaten Wemby or Fox as our main guys.
The League better not mess around and let Derik Queen fall to 14.
We would have the Castle, the Scarlet Knight (Harper), the Queen and the Alien. No Joker or King would be able to withstand that lmao
Man Ace Bailey the “more athletic one” got out jumped by Harper lol this is a rough combine for Airous.
Damn. Queen looks massive. Please don’t show me that tape again. I always wanted a bulldozer next to Wemby but a running game with Fox/Castle/Dylan/Wemby and maybe Fleming is where I’m at right now. Just get a big tough kid in the 2nd round to stop Queen. Because Queen is going to punish a lot of people. I hope Queen gets drafted in the EC. I’m betting on Sixers. That would be crazy Embiid and Queen. Embiid wants to shoot outside anyways.
After seeing the vertical leap figures, this seems to be exactly what happened.
I would put no faith in that Tre Johnson vert number
While 40 is not bad, I thought Edgecombe would be freakish like Ja with his highlight dunks.
I'm just glad we can stop talking about players like Maluach & Kneupple and focus on the elite talents at the top of the draft. We're so ing lucky.
It all started with breaking Nash/Dirk. How many times the bball gods tried to gift this franchise? The only thing good was trading for Dirk, but letting go of defensive Chandler after they won a ring. Some franchises are not meant to be great.
