Cooper Flagg -- Season 1 thread -- Summer League discussion

[arkuo]

So it's the first time I'm reading stuff about Flagg. People say his defense is better than his offense. Wth. So we need a scorer still.

[Teffer10]

I'm not sure the conspiracy is completely over. If Gafford is gifted to LA for nothing, I'll be completely convinced it is real.
Watch for a Gaff to LA for scrubs and the 2031 pick. I'm calling it now.

That will be Gaff for AR15.

That would be a gift to us.
I'm thinking more like Gaff for Vincent/Hayes/2031

Or maybe to make it less obvious,
Gaff/Powell for Vincent/Hayes/Knecht/2031

Same thoughts. Guys like Kevin Gray will be pumping out so much Flagg content now.

I think Flagg alone would be able to fill the seats the same way Caitlin Clark would. Add Kyrie and AD to that, business-wise, you're okay.

Kevin Gray, Bobby Karalla, Kirk Henderson and Josh Bowe are great content creators, we are lucky to have them, happy for them they no longer need to cover an irrelevant franchise.

Please no more gift to the Fakers, they sucks right now. No need to help them.

Reaves is overrated as hell. Last 2 PO years were brutal for him.
He is a Jordan Poole type. No thanks.

[arkuo]

The guys who let go of season tickets and had theirs swept up by other people are in a sucky situation now.

Defense is so freaking overrated in this new NBA. It's absolutely hilarious how many people fall for this narrative. Look at the all mighty 2 way players in Tatum and SGA. How are they struggling? Even though they have insane team behind them, they'll still struggle. If you have an absolute elite offensive player, you go for that.

Draft experts say, Flagg might not even be your best nr1 team option but he could reach elite nr2 option. But he's obviously young, so anything can happen.

So basically he's a nice piece to have at SF. Makes PJ expendable.

But like what you said, LA got an elite offensive player so I guess people are happy for LA too.

[King Ken]

Of course, the final piece of the Luka trade. The NBA made the trade. Not Nico. Not the Adelsons. This was a trade made for the betterment of the league

I actually like PJ, would hate to see him go. I don't see a reason why both can't be in the starting lineup.

One has to play SG? Assuming AD starts at the 4. PJ and Gaff about to get new deals. I like PJ too. But for the right deal, I think he's not untouchable.

Yeah, hard to say how they'll use Flagg. Maybe he can play at SG or move AD to center and PJ to PF, that would probably be ideal. Gaff is 99% gone by either trade or next free agency but i think Nico will make sure at least PJ stays because he's a dog that every team needs.

Then again, AD is constantly injured, so it might not be that hard to form a starting lineup with PJ and Flagg

[arkuo]

Celtics fans thinking they could get Flagg for their trash to save their team next season is the funniest thing I read today. LMAO

$500M payroll with KP having AIDS and Tatum snapping his Achilles is the worst case scenario.

New owners should be on instant money saving mode.

[Teffer10]

If CFs shot continues to develop, I dont think it's out of the question he could play some SG. His defense is for real and could possibly guard 3 or 4 positions, and he has great handles for his size. I dont hear any comparisons of Gordon Hayward, but I see a little there.

The comparisons are all over. I've seen Scottie Pippen and Andrei Kirilenko. I'm not sure what to believe with that.

Kyrie would be the Yoda to Luka Skywalker here. Flagg's got a great mentor.

At this point i just hope he doesn't turn into Ben Simmons with all the hype and draft rigging.

Nico should still get fired. Then Dallas should really consider trading AD and getting the value they should have gotten in the AD/Luka trade

[41Dirk41]

Totally agree.

Rebuild around CF and d-Liv

Yes both those guys are solid. Heck I say go full Duke; fire Nico/Kidd, and hire Duke's head coach to coach this team. Let Flagg know off the bat, this is your team. You are the new Dirk.
