Flagg needs to be introduced to Holger or something. Get him to train with the guy and have him train like Dirk when Dirk was younger.

Where is Holger anyway? He must be like 90 by now, no?

Holger must be about 200 years old by this point.

Didn't he attend Dirk's HoF induction? I think I saw him there

Yea he was there. He honestly still looked the same from what I remember but I don’t know if I see him taking Cooper on any walkabouts.

Holger is 79 but I don't think he tries to do anything right now besides enjoying retirement. He also looks more fragile than usually

I'm thinking about the same thing, if Flagg could add Dirk's strength to arsenal. It's tough to guard. Most SF don't have 6-9 and 7-foot wingspan. If you make a one-legged fadeaway, no one except Wemby can guard you. If you hit 50-40-90, it opens up driving lanes and space for teammates. If you gets Kyrie's handle, step back and Euro-step, it's deadly to almost all defender.

And this roster is special, if Flagg plays SF, you block everything even in pick-n-roll. Offensively, you get favorable matchups everywhere. If Lively becomes versatile on time, opponents have no where to hide.

The Mavs become favorable matchups against OKC. I am not sure about SAS and Denver. With Gafford may not return, we need Lively to take major steps.

How to play durable basketball is also an issue. Dirk is surely missed.

News from the combine about Flagg is him having a lot of parallels with Jayson Tatum.

Moves his feet really well for a 6'9 player. Wonder if he'll grow 2 more inches and top off at like 6'11 barefoot.

The more I'm reading about him, the more I'm amazed, he's up there with AD as the best American prospect since KD.

No question. Management has to make the pick, don't think twice, get Flagg in that first flight out of La Guardia. :nod:

To me that’s his NBA comp, a more aggressive Jason Tatum.

As far as American born prospects Cooper Flagg is right there with KD, AD, and Zion.

Boston urges Flagg to refuse playing for Dallas and forced his way to Boston. Is it really legal to start with?

Nah, this time Silver won't step in again to bail out another big franchise :wink:

It's not gonna happen, and why would he refuse to play for Dallas? Boston better off starting to look at the 2026 draft lottery :lol:

Where the hell do you always find these type of nonsense stuff? Do you have any sources for that?

Read on Twitter

He's not going anywhere.

I’ve been urging Tatum to force his way out of Boston to go play for the Wizards. Let’s see how that works out.

Boston?? LMAO Flagg is not going to Boston by any means. Maybe 10 years from now when we collude for another first overall pick but definitely not now.
