Utah, Charlotte and Portland.

I really like the Blazers fanbase. They deserve a great player, despite their franchise never putting capable players around their last great player.

Was looking for Charlotte on the list but I couldn’t find it :D

#1 Charlotte

#2 Portland

Was more difficult to pick #3, but I went with Utah.

Why would he not?

He was using abbreviations and CLT is Charlotte’s abbreviation.

Houston getting Flagg would be the best, most craziest and happy scenario.

Personal bias I would love Toronto to get in but if not


Charlotte ( long suffering fan base,perfect bball fit for Flagg)

Portland really competitive team despite not getting much from Scoot. I’d like them to be rewarded for the effort

Houston - extremely fun young team. This pick would go a long way to getting Giannis

Hopefully its not Washington or Charlotte...he will rot in this organizations. He is better suited for a western conference team like Utah, portland. Still won't make those teams Tru contenders right away but he will have a better chance excelling out west I think.

1. Hornets - I'm moving to Charlotte soon and would like a reason to go watch the "home" games. History shows they will definitely end up with the #2 pick.
2. Wizards - They have a nice intriguing young team, Flagg would be a lot of fun there.
3. Jazz - Not that I would want him in Denver's division, but Jazz fans deserve to see SOMETHING come out of gutting the team.

Honorable mention: I absolutely don't want the Rockets to luck into Flagg, but it would be super hilarious and a huge gut punch to the Suns. What a disaster of an organization.

My three would be Chicago, Atlanta and Houston, because unlike most other teams on the list they actually went for it. Didn't pick NO as I didn't want to jinx another premier talent's health, or Dallas because of the whole inept ownership issue and I wouldn't want to give them a leg up on potentially relocating the team away from Dallas.

All of the Jazz, Wizards, and Hornets really need to land a top pick.

I'll just list the three I most definitely don't want in the top 3

1) UTA - Absurdly blatant tank jobs shouldn't be rewarded
2) WAS - They will just mess it up anyway so let a legit franchise get in
3) SAS - They already won with Wemby so spread the wealth

I Chose POR, HOU and TOR but I don't really care.

Hornets fans need something good to happen. We haven’t won a damn playoff series in 24 freaking years.
