The 2024 draft is over, and teams are looking for targeted trades and signings, like the Spurs are going to start making the playoffs, and the Grizzlies will return to the playoffs with the return of multiple injured players, but there will be teams with a declining record.
Judging from the operation of each team before and after the draft, the following seven teams will be crazy for Flag, but their respective situations are a little different.
Jazz: The Jazz can't completely mess up due to the relationship with players such as Markkanen, Sesqueton, and Clarkson, but 2025 is a recognized draft year, and Angie will definitely send away all the players on the team who are not conducive to competing for the top pick, even if they can't get Flagg, they must get a new person who is suitable to be the cornerstone to partner with Cody Williams.
Trail Blazers: The Trail Blazers took center Klingen in the draft, which made Ayton's position very awkward and likely to be a trade target, and the team also sent Brogdon away to get Averdia, a young player who has cashed in on his talent, and he will be the hope of the team's rise with Henderson, Klingen, and Sharpe, although the team still has Grant, Simmons and other strong players, but their record in the new season will definitely not be too high, if the first two games can not play well, I'm afraid that I will give up the pursuit of the playoffs again and completely enter a state of rottenness.
Pistons: The Pistons have been vaunting big trades since the end of the 2023-24 season to bring in All-Star players, but in addition to the draft selection of Holland, Hardaway was traded from the Mavericks, but this deal does not seem to be improving the team. The Pistons changed management and decisively fired Monty, they didn't want to mess up, and the league hated their endless messing, but there was no way, with their current roster, I'm afraid they would still be a member of the lottery zone in the new season.
Wizards: The team got Sarr as they wished in the draft, and traded away the rising Avdija, the purpose is to completely mess up, and next, they will try their best to trade Kuzma, Brogdon, Poole and other players, except for Sarr and Koulibaly, the whole team has no non-sale, so that the team is completely in the first echelon of the swing, and the goal is to sign the top pick.
Raptors: Judging from the Raptors' trade moves, they have basically rebuilt, with the core framework of Barnes + Quickley + Barrett, and then build a lineup around it, but in the new season, their record will not be too good, and it is likely to be in the lottery area in the end, 2025 is a draft year, maybe the entire lottery area can be rebuilt core.
Nets: If the Nets hadn't helped the Rockets, they wouldn't have been able to send Bridges away into a complete mess, and they got back the initiative in the 2025 and 2026 drafts, and there was no need to worry about it. In the new season, the league wants to ask which teams are likely to be the last two, and it is definitely the Nets Wizards, and Flagg will most likely be one of their teams.
Hawks: The Hawks are helpless and have no draft picks, including the unprotected first-round picks in 2025 and 2027 in the hands of the Spurs, and the first-round swap rights in 2026 are also in the hands of the Spurs, which are all the after-effects of trading Murray. Although they were lucky to get the top pick to select Lisachet in this draft, but relying on Lisachet, Jalen Johnson, and Trae Young, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference, and the team has intentionally sent away everyone except Lisachet and Jalen Johnson, so the Hawks may not want to be bad, and they can only be very bad. However, it will be interesting to see if the Hawks will be as lucky as the Nets to negotiate with the Spurs about Trae Young's redemption of first-round picks, once it is reached, then the team can rest assured that it will be bad, and once it can't be done, it can only be a wedding dress for the Spurs in the end, and the Spurs can not only rest assured that they will impact the playoffs, but also may get an unexpected surprise again, that is, the champion Flagg sent by the Hawks.
