A few years ago they were a wing-heavy group with no true stars. They tore that team down to build, once again, a wing-heavy group with no true stars. Flagg would add to the budding versatility here, but what the Raptors need, like the Wizards, is a ball-handling guard to direct the offense. A few years ago, Masai Ujiri might've gotten the credit that Ainge and Morey do above. His last few transaction cycles have been shaky, though, so until the Raptors prove they have a definable direction, they're best not entrusted with a prospect like Flagg.
The part in bold seems a bit harsh.
Not a bit harsh, just utter bullsh*t lol
All this piece of garbage take is a not so subtle way of just saying "we don't want him in Canada". Forget that we already have an established starter and backup PG (to the point it might become a debate who's the starter long term)....
We are EASILY one of the top 5 franchises he can land on.
I'd admit that all of the Spurs, Rockets and Sixers (pukes in mouth) are probably better but after that I honestly think we'd be the best situation. Don't tell me the Heat, their core is actually quite a bit older than him now and who's considered their best player?! Herro? I'll Ingram 10x out of 10, for as much as some people are starting to hate on him, I'd honestly without bias take Scottie over Bam then we still have IQ, RJ, Yak and a ton of young depth. Ingram is on par with almost any 2nd option other than maybe LeBron in LA at this point. Then you still have the rest of the cast. He'd be walking right on to an instant Playoff team and the only thing that would dictate how far they go is how much Flagg had progressed but by the end of his rookie contract he could easily be in the hunt for a Finals' appearance. Again other than the other 3 mentioned, I don't really see other situations that top that.
But that's all a blab because we all know damn well that Silver & Co feel this way too, the absolute best we could pray for is top 2/Ace Bailey. In reality we know it's gonna come down to one Maluach (THE most likely pick) or Queen.
