Around the NBA (Part Two)

[younggunsmn]

I never heard the name Cooper Flagg until the last week. I know NOTHING about college basketball.

All good, just a funny conversation.

I don't know if he has superstar upside, but I think his bust potential is very low. He should be a very solid pro.

He's gonna end up somewhere between Danilo Galinari and Larry Bird.
Hopefully, since he went to Dallas, danilo Galinari.

[younggunsmn]

I'm kinda pissed.
Dal traded Luka to LA and got Cooper Flagg.
We traded KAT to NY what do we get now? Huh Silver?
Do we get an even whistle the rest of the playoffs now?
Enquiring minds want to know.

That was corruption, this was by choice. There's a difference.

He missed an easy ass bucket in his last college game to tie.

And Dallas got Anthony Davis.
What's the real prize?

I mean unless you want to count the CBA and cheap ass owners and poor negotiating as the reason then yeah it was.

We got B-AnTman a Robin at 22-25 million per year less and hopefully the best player in the 2025 draft with the Detriot pick ..whoever he is.
Too bad DDV has been ass so far in the playoffs but watch him suddenly become lights out from three against the knicks in the NBA finals.

He’s alright for his age (supposed to be draft of 2026), he kind of lacks burst and is soft though. I hope he doesn’t become a fat whiney bitch like Doncic at Dallas.

We get an NBA championship this season

I just watched some Cooper Flagg highlights. Color me impressed. KVH is a pretty good comparison, but Flagg will be better. I think he does have Superstar potential.

He’s really good. I saw a measurement comparison to Scottie Pippen. If he tightens up the handle, I could see that as his upside. He’s good to great in every area with great feel for the game. Kind of guy that does whatever is needed to win on a given night.

Before the draft I intend to go from not knowing Flagg to becoming a Flagg authority. He is supposedly 6'9" and 205 pounds. I think the height is probably inflated an inch or 2. He's only 18.5 years old. I think in a couple years he will settle in at about 220 pounds and it's possible he grows another inch.

He was measured yesterday at the combine. 6'7.75 (no shoes) and weighed 221 pounds and has a 7'0 wingspan. I think he's going to be a very good pro with a very high floor.

He's already 221? Did he put on 10-15 pounds since the season ended? The clips I saw of him he looked skinny but wirey as the say. If he's 221 already He could settle in at 235 in a couple years. Wow. So his reported height was inflated an inch and a quarter. Height in shoes is total BS. He could still grow an inch or so. He seems so quick and coordinated. Nice wingspan.

Duke’s Cooper Flagg’s official measurements from the NBA Draft Combine:

6’7 ¾ barefoot, 221 lbs, with a 7’0” wingspan and 8’10 ½" standing reach

Flagg grew nearly an inch in the past year, while adding 12 pounds.
Too bad he won't be a Timberwolf.

NBA had the video of how the lottery balls were being picked on their youtube channel but not sure why the main TV broadcast doesn't carry this view. I think league should definitely start showing this in the main TV broadcast from next year onwards just to provide more transparency and atleast shut some of the conspiracy theorists (you are never gonna convince everyone though)

Watch on YouTube

The balls are weighted to the way you want them to fall. Watching the drawing means nothing.

Spoiler:

Or sometimes the ball just bounces your way

[Neeva]

They definitely fix it some years, while other years they don’t give a **** and can give Risacher to atlanta etc..

[Worm Guts]

I can’t promise anything, but the fact that the ping pong balls match some predetermined narrative isn’t actual evidence of a conspiracy.
