2025 NBA Offseason Thread

They won’t be bad with that roster in the East while Tatum, Dame and Haliburton are basically out for the season.

I expect Boston and Indiana to still be competing for a top four spot in the East.
Detroit and Cleveland should be right there; New York is likely too.
The SE division is a train wreck sans Orlando, Philadelphia (and Embiid) may have shortened their window. Who else is jumping up?
Atlanta?

wow fast and furious trades before the draft tomorrow wonder what else is going to happen

Atlanta with some more additions will be right there with those teams. The real question is what makes people think the Spurs will be a playoff team in the west?

Looking like it's gonna be another offseason of the Spurs doing nothing and running it back.

But hey, adding a healthy Fox, Harper, and whoever we end up with at #14 should make things interesting.

The West is just a beast though. We'll still be lucky to make the playoffs.

Don't underestimate the addition of the new coaches either. Big Nasty and Sweeney should improve the defense and rebounding next season to go with the influx of draft talent. I know all of us want the friendship krew gone but the hope is with new talent and new coaching they will either play themselves on or off the roster.

Kyrie gonna be making $40M/per at 37 years old.

Big if true.

This guy named wembanyama. He’s pretty damn good.

I heard that he has been on the spurs for two years and that even with him they are so bad they got 2 other top 5 picks?

Is this true?

Would be a real shame to not try and make another significant upgrade this offseason.

Barnes expiring, Branham/Wesley contracts, #14, a ton of seconds….

plenty of assets to push this team into the playoffs without dipping into the better part of the war chest. They absolutely need to make the playoffs this season tbh

The tweet about executives confident SAC can and will acquire a FRP is interesting... to me that signals that whomever SAC has been shopping (Monk, Devin Carter are the names rumored) are getting plenty of interest and it's just a matter of what deal SAC likes best.

Of course, with BKN now having 4 of the last 12 picks, maybe it's just viewed as relatively cheap and easy to get one of them.

Top 6 in the West should be the Spurs expectations, IMO, and anything short of that should be viewed as a failure that causes people to feel nervous about their job security. Of course, that isn't very Spursy so that view is probably not shared... but that would be my expectation if I were Holt Jr.

If they don’t make the playoffs then BWrong should be gone, simple as that tbh

I'm so confused by these sorts of statements. They traded for Fox in the season. They can't trade for him again. They're going to add the #2 player in the draft and probably another lottery pick. Then they're going to add some size, at least.

What the do you want them to do? What makes people like you happy? Just doing ? Or what?

I mentioned Fox as a positive.

The #2 pick is a given.

We'll see what happens with #14, but I expect the Spurs will draft someone who will hopefully fill a need.

I'm not really ing about it. Just saying, if any big moves were gonna happen...they probably would have by now. Without naming any names, I feel like there are guys we could move to improve the team.

[Marcus Bryant]

Goal here is to be serious contender in a couple years.

Castle, Fox and presumably Harper will have joined in the last 12 months.

Gotta allow for a couple years to ramp up/get acclimated.

Pick 14 and 38 are some moonshots, can we pull another star with one of those?

OKC went from a second round out in their first POs together to the ring. In this NBA it's totally possible. The West is rough, but a number of the teams are going to start declining. Just stay in our lane and build what we have. If Vic is healthy, no one's going to match him. Get the guard corps going, add some pieces, and make everyone try to beat you.

The west is such a bloodbath. Lakers, Clippers, and grizzlies should slide, but only by a small margin. Suns will be much worse. I think the Kings below avg era will have a downfall and they'll sell at the deadline. Pelicans is such a question mark. They should be better though. Blazers should have a good defensive lineup but they are relying on someone to pop offensively . Mavs should be better too but they have a lopsided team build currently that they need to address. Jazz will fire sell this offseason and should bottom out.

It really will come down to health and depth in the west.
