2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[SleepingHero]

2 bad picks. I wonder what they are sending out as they still need to get under the 2nd apron

Im shocked they got him for so cheap.

The guy Toronto picked really didn’t wanna go there lol.

Cedric Coward at No. 11 to Portland, per source, is being traded to Memphis for the No. 16 pick, a future first-rounder and two second-rounders.

That Kasparas Jakulonics dude is falling. If the Mavs can find a way to flip Hardy+OMax for a FRP then I'd be HIGHLY intrigued

Coward is my favorite pick. But with so little background, he could end up like Prosper.

More likely a more defensive-minder Aaron Nesmith

The Atlanta Hawks are trading the No. 13 pick in the Draft to the New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 23 pick, an unprotected 2026 first round pick (most favorable of New Orleans and Milwaukee), sources tell ESPN.

Is NO crazy? Their unprotected FRP for #13?

[SleepingHero]

Chicago gets the first french prospect.

Noa Essengue screams like a massive bust to me

Moving up 10 spots for their next year pick. 

I'm shocked. Whoever they are taking now at 13 must be worth it.

NOLA trading an unprotected 2026 to move up 10 spots seems sus

Giannis destination?

Especially since there's ZERO chance they make the playoffs this season.

[SleepingHero]

LOOOOOOOOOL THE PELICANS TAKE DERIK QUEEN??????????????

[omahen]

Especially since there's ZERO chance they make the playoffs this season.

Or Milwaukee firesales the team and their pick is even better. They really have to like whoever they are getting with that pick...

[SleepingHero]

Giannis destination?

ATL is loading up for sure.

But who do they include in such a trade? I assume they'd be trying to do a Trae+KP+Giannis core. And if I'm the Hawks, I'm questioning if Giannis can work with Trae after seeing how he worked with Dame.

I didn’t really study much with those picks but I think I would have picked him at 12 if the Mavs stayed.

[SleepingHero]

I cannot believe the Pelicans took Derik Queen....

Moved up 10 spots for him LOL

[Chicagojk]

Laughing at other teams dumb GMs doesn’t hit like it did last year.

[SleepingHero]

I didn’t really study much with those picks but I think I would have picked him at 12 if the Mavs stayed.

He turned the ball over a lot and he struggled to get his shot reliably off in the tournament... But he's a big guard that can pass well and theoretically can score if needed.

The talent is there. 

I'm shocked he's fallen this far.

Truthfully if the Spurs didn't already have Fox, Castle, and Harper, I would believe they'd pick him at #14 ten times outta ten.
