>When doing a deep evaluation of the players set to enter the 2025 NBA Draft, it looks a lot more top-heavy with superstar caliber players that the 2024 NBA Draft lacks. The biggest name that most will be familiar with is Cooper Flagg, but next year’s draft has other potential No. 1 pick candidates.
Also, Duke is getting Cooper Flagg (6’ 9”) and top prospect Khaman Maluach (7’2”) next year. Catch them during their one year of college, because they aren’t staying past that.

Nope, next take please

Flagg is insane and I’ve been looking forward to his draft class for a few years now. It’s really why I’ve been advocating so hard for a rebuild – the Spurs own our pick but it’s top 10 protected next year. Landing the #1 pick and drafting Flagg could be what saves this franchise. Even if we rebuild and fail to get the first pick, the draft class around him is stacked as hell
I understand the people who hate rebuilds and just want a competitive team, but I really just think we can’t truly be a competitive team until we find our franchise cornerstone, who Flagg can very well be.

Play like poop for Coop, rolls off the tongue so well you can taste it.

Flagg is gonna be a bust in the NBA.

Bulls should have blown it up this season anyway, even with a dogshit draft. But even moreso next season to avoid giving a pick to the Spurs.

Best chance we have to step up in this league

Yes. The team needs something and somebody to be excited for

I’m not opposed to it, as I believe that’s also the year we convey a pick to San Antonio if it’s not in the top ten, so we might as well try to be as bad as we can be.
The problem with that statement is that it means getting rid of guys like Caruso or Demar and cutting ties with Coby, PWill, Ayo as those guys will end up keeping us just good enough to miss out on a franchise caliber star.

They should, but they won’t
jkopecky
I’m not opposed, it’s probably the right move.
My only question is… do we trade Coby? Most valueable piece we have at his production + cap hit and he’s only under contract for two more years so I’m not sure he stays through a tank… unless he becomes a clear cut max guy I’d imagine we need to overpay to keep him.
I ask because obviously I don’t want to trade Coby but I’m not sure what the value of keeping him is in a full scale rebuild where the absolute best case scenario is the team being competitive in 3-4 years.

Even if we miss out on Flagg, there some other good prospects for 2025:

The Bulls don’t tank. They should but they don’t.
