    Likely only the Hawks one. The Spurs are going to take a jump next season (unless Wemby gets injured).

    Correct.

    Ace Bailey is his teammate.

    A top 3 pick in this draft is like striking gold.

    Which is why we should rid ourselves of Grant and Simons and go all in.

    Agreed. And the worst record only guarantees a top 5 pick. If we start out in the 2 or 3 slot, there is yet another chance that we drop to 7 or worse. Can't have that happen again.

    Mindset has to be to secure that worst record, bar none. This is the last year to try to do this.

    Yes but I like the due diligence of all prospects.

    Also interesting that Chauncey is there.

    I have been saying for a while that I predict him transitioning to a FO role.

    Someday we may hear "Rebuild like the Spurs". See... Blazer fans get to use this rebuild as a practice run, before the true rebuild begins.

    There's legitimately 5-6 players with star potential. We just need to secure a top 5 pick.

    He "plays bigger" in a sort of Dwayne Wade/Josh Hart kind of way while retaining guard skills. I'm really excited to watch him this upcoming season and see if he's a fall-back option in case we can't land Flagg or Bailey.

    So you think we should tank this next season?

    Yeah... Completely agree.

    I think if you combine the last 2 drafts & the 2025 draft class - you'd come up with the following:
    1) Wemby ('23)
    2) Flagg ('25)
    3) Bailey ('25)
    4) Harper ('25)
    5) Traore ('25)
    6) Edgecombe ('25)
    7) Miller ('23)
    8) Scoot ('23)
    9) Amen ('23)
    10) Risacher ('24)... maybe?
