I missed this post when you made it, sorry - there's actually activity here today, so I'm rusty. 

I agree, but the question is: how long is the process of "becomes?"

Some people want them to do a tear down and build completely around Flagg right away. I don't think they will, and given the draft capital situation, I don't think they should, but I understand the logic because he's that type of talent, so not messing up the opportunity should be the primary goal. 

Some people want them to maintain the mission of winning now and sort of use Flagg in whatever way accommodates that mission most, which, in theory, might stunt his growth, though I think the chances of that are fairly low. 

Is the best compromise between the two approaches to try to win now WITH Flagg in the driver seat? And, is it possible he'll be good enough soon enough for that to work?

I see Cooper Flagg as prime Grant Hill out of the gate. I think he's going to surprise everyone that doesn't believe he's ready for this. I think they will try to win with him now. Is that the right move? I don't know. Time will tell. Either way, at least the Mavs have life again.
