2025 NBA Draft and Offseason

…ugh. Not sure he’s ready. Amen

You need Amen and Sengun to both level up a little, and you'll be fine with ball-handling in crunch time. Especially since KD makes it easier to get a decent shot when nothing's happening. I'm not even sure FVV would've been a constant in your crunch time 5.

Amen
KD
Smith
Sengun

DFS/Reed/Eason

They can make a trade, too. FVV's contract is a nice number, and they have picks.

Definitely a chink in the armor, but Ime seems to be able to adjust on the fly. The roster seems extremely tilted toward the post position at the moment. I’m betting they seek to bolster the pg position. FVV was the only sole designated pg on the team.

If they can just figure out how to hide Reed on D* and let him play the passing lanes, then mostly play off-ball with Amen on offense, he could be a pretty legit threat by the end of the year. They are going to need shooting with Amen and Sengun on the floor, and if he's just in that Mario Chalmers role, but shooting 45% from 3p, it's going to be interesting.

*which they should be able to do with all that length in the other 4 spots.

Lowe was talking with Chris Ryan about their favorite non-finals teams of the last 15 years, and when Lowe was teasing his top pick, I knew he was going to say the 2014-15 Atlanta Hawks. That was one of the funnest teams ever. They were putting defenses in the blender with their scheming. They struggled to make the ECF in a weak East and then got swept, but a big part of that was Korver's shoulder needing surgery.
