2 You see him as having one way to build a team. I think he's way more than a one-trick pony. That's why I want him.
3 Presti would have to work with what's here to work with, and it's not the same as what he had to work with in OKC. Over time, I would expect he would find repeated ways to build the Mavs' draft capital, while also having a better team. The 2 are not mutually exclusive.
4 For Presti (or whoever) the presence of Flagg has to impact just about everything, frankly. The timeline to chase the top (IMO) will be accelerated because, with Flagg, it can. The quest to find the guy to build around is not really needed - now it's doing that building, asap.
Presti please. Let an expert do the work from here.
I think Flagg has the potential to be just as good or better than Luka. But I think he isn't as much of a floor raiser as rookie contract Luka. Mavs have tried to accelerate the process so many times and it never really worked. Instead of praying that someone like Presti can do the same stuff that Nelson, Cuban and Harrison did...just better. For once change the approach. Let somebody with a proven approach and track record do his thing.
