Building Around Cooper: A Backward-Looking Thought Experiment

[KillerLeft]

OR it's a fundamental issue with your premise?  

That's the thing isn't it... I said as much to Killer, that we view Flagg's game going forward differently, which makes all of this more talking past each other than anything. This turned into some PJW replacement thread, which is unfortunate. And I'll own my part in that. But I'm over talking about it. I've said plenty

Only you're not over talking about it, because you're going to leave that tag up, which, to me, is the definition of straw man baiting.

That comment probably seems harsher than I intend, because I don't think you MEAN it to misconstrue anyone's position, but I have seen NOBODY in favor of trading PJW because they want a better, cheaper version of HIM. Most of us think he's GREAT! So, by definition, the conversation has been and will always be about how he fits with Flagg. 

THAT'S the point. "How does ____ fit with Cooper Flagg" is the only conversation that matters at all to a Mavs fan anymore.

EDIT: Annnnnd, as I was typing this, Smitty removed the tag and made me look like a total dumbass. Well played, my guy! I admit defeat.
