The thing that will make most us wince a little, is that I feel certain Nico has met him multiple times and probably has met his parents. I don't knoiw this to be fact and have never read it, but Nico and CF were two planets in the same orbit for a long time.
And frankly, I consider it strange fate that Luka is gone and Cooper will not have to be the number 2 option on this team - a team that was built to support Luka. CF has never been the #2 player on any team, and I just can't see them as compatible teammates. I might have been happy to watch it, but I can't believe that chemistry would be the best thing for Flagg. While players like Kyrie and AD might have a bigger NBA profile, I think Luka is a different animal altogether. Two silverbacks in the same troop just doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
