Hate to be a downer but realistically this is the same team that got blown out by Memphis in the play-in with the exception of DLo replacing Spencer. DLo is the better player but he's not going to turn this thing around by himself. I expect Flagg will flash plenty (and be great in the future) but he's an 18 year old rookie. Expect a lot of ups and downs. So let's be honest. This team may not win more than half their games.
There will be excitement for Flagg's debut but interest will fade and we'll probably be talking about tanking again when this team is 3-5 games under .500 by Christmas.
If "emotions returning to normal" means excitement about competing for championships with a homegrown star, my guess is not before '28-29.
