Bulls. Flagg, Giddey and Buzelis. I'm sure the NBA would love that.

I would think a down bad big market like Chicago and Washington would be top of the list

Clearly it's the Jazz. The league just can't help themselves from skewing everything in their favor.

Probably whichever team goes up for sale or is soon to go up for sale. Seems to be a trend of new buyers getting rewarded with a great prospect.

Or, rather, great new prospects are used to entice buyers and increase franchise values.

Jazz got their guy this year in Kyle Filipowski. You guys could not ask for a better fit. Slides right into Utah culture.

Not according to realgm. It says NOP still has it.

Thanks for the correction, my internal software is still not yet updated with all the transactions from this off-season.

Voted DET. They're a franchise mired in awfulness and need to turn it around promptly. Flagg would most definitely get that going and return the franchise to competitiveness.

Nets. Knicks are good, try to create that NY rivalry.

Bulls winning, but meh. Our fanbase is pretty damn loyal (to a fault).

Note I don’t buy that Flagg is a savior (ie- destined to be a 1st team all NBA shoo-in), much less a GOAT, but played along anyway.

Yeah, there are sometimes fits that are too good to be true (Lebron, DRose, Wemby), but then you get AD and Zion in NO, and Duncan to the Spurs (could’ve easily and by odds gone to the iconic Celtics), sticking Oden and KD in the PNW…so I don’t believe in these conspiracy theories.

Hmmmm. 2024.

In this case, Luka for the buyers-to-be. Flagg for the most recent buyers.
