Event 2025 NBA DRAFT LOTTERY, COMBINE, AND DRAFT

Sounds about right. Let's start Ayton Grant Ant and we can bury Scoot/Sharpe/Clingan on the bench.

 

Id much rather have #5 than #11.... So wouldn't say Utah got nowhere.

I'm all for trying to win 100% - but with youth. I never understood what the purpose of the AntGrantAyton big 3 was on our team.

 

Kyrie and Dame can rehab together next year on the Bucks!

 

If I were the Flagg I'd be pissed about who my GM is going to be. They do have good fans. Assuming both come back from their injuries you do have two HOF teammates... sorry with Klay that's three HOF teammates on the back end of their careers but still you have a chance (if healthy) to immediately contend for a title. If I was Flagg I would make a point of having a good, independent of management, relationship with ownership. If you feel like Nico is up to some whack shit, just have him fired. I think Flagg will be good enough to have that dynamic.

It while I said what I said about being happy for Mavs fans after Nico fucked them this season it does sting a little more that it was a team behind us that got Flagg. He would have been what we need.

 

Not that I'd put it past our current franchise but Bobby Marks is absolutely useless. His information almost never reflects any reality besides the objective stuff... that being cap related. His trade ideas never make any sense, he openly says that he no longer has any sources in the league. I'm pretty damn sure Marks knows where all of the bodies are buried at ESPN because his personality is non existent on top of everything else.

I mean what guy who actually was an assistant GM and doesn't keep up with front offices around the league once they move to TV basically just so he doesn't have to come up with trades based on any legit rumors... or maybe Marks is still really plugged in and he just doesn't give a fuck about the fans and does his boring ass shit instead of giving us anything of value. That probably is it because I swear that dude has never proposed a trade that made sense or has happened and I feel like he would have tripped and fallen into being right by now if he wasn't actively trying to be wrong. He does, to his credit always say that his lame ass shit is not sourced at all, I just don't know why ESPN uses him.

 

Fell asleep and woke up pissed off bc of this BS… I’m still salty about it.

It’s not even about us not moving up, or falling back.

Fuck the Mavs, and Fuck the Spurs too. The fact that they went 1 and 2 is probably worse case scenario imo. Maybe the only thing that would have been worse is if the Spurs were the ones who ended up with Flagg.

 

Nah, you got the wrong Texas team this time. If the Rockets got the first pick and the Spurs got the second that would be far far worse.

 

Dallas forth worth is a big market though isnt it?

And beyond Dallas, Texas has like 35 million people?
Id say in sports, Texas is a large market.

 

I was thinking similarly last night. Something should be done along the lines of, if a team makes the playin then whatever picks the team has that year cant be in the top four. If the team made the playoffs, they cant be in the top ten.

 

Flagg was Four years old three years ago?


Wtf? Lol. And you’re trying to make fun of me????

Those of you who think there's no chance the lottery could be fixed are the same with heads in the sand regarding a great many things in the corporate greed world we live in.
But you keep thinking all is fair and greed doesn't run this country….
And if you know greed runs this country, then why so much pushback!
“Greed runs everything. But not the nba…”
look at the tv contracts advertising deals… anyone who thinks it isn't possible is out of their minds.

 

They can suck harder. Don’t worry.

 

Dallas had first pick in WNBA draft. Clearly a conspiracy.

 

So what’s the draft look like in 2026?
Are they tanking again next year?

 

probably something along the lines of "Gosh darn it!"

I know no one cares but does Dallas even consider trade for Giannis? Giannis, AD, Kyrie is likely favorites next couple of years

 

Luka has been getting fatter and fatter each year and that doesn't age well. Obviously the Mavs management had tried to get him to give a fuck, his actions showed he just didn't. Ownership had very real reasons not to want to resign him and tie their future to him... of course

After another torn ACL in March, very questionable Kyrie does much of anything next season

Too late

 

Those contracts expire next summer (2026).

As called by multiple posters when Grant resigned, they're stuck with him unless they trade him for another horrible contract just to rearrange the deck chairs. If they let those other contracts come off their cap following next season, even with resigning Sharpe they should have space for another sizable deal via FA. I don't think that player needs to be a star for this team to compete if their young core reaches their collective ceiling
