This is largely a discussion about Cooper Flagg with Leif Thulin - a credentailed draft analyst currently working for the Utah Jazz. He digs deep into Flagg.
Most of this is a glowing analysis of CF, but about half way through they talk about Flagg inside the Mavericks rotation, playing Flagg at the 2-spot and even playing him at PG. This guy is completly on board with that. It's an itnteresting discussion. These aren't Mavs podcasters, but they know our players.
But the other thing that really pretty funny is how pissed he is that the Mavs got Flagg and how completely unfair it was. Basically he sees it as Nico getting rewarded for making a bonehead Luka trade. Thulin is a Utah guy, but I sort of get where he's coming from. His rant feels like something on this board.

UT did a great job of stripping down their roster to get this generational talent. Then they tanked so that Marknannen, Sexton, Kessler, etc couldn't mess up their #1 seed. Mission accomplished, #1 seed obtained.
So the NBA owed them the pick, right?
