Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

I agree it will take multiple years to build a title contender but the quicker you can get Flagg into the playoffs, the better it will be for his overall development.  

Moreover, why would you want to start the rebuild off with pieces that you hope to one day fit together (Flagg and Wilson) when you can start off with better-fitting pieces (ie. the better shooting prospects mentioned earlier) from day one?

Also, shooting might be the most valuable skill in the NBA today.  Prospects that can shoot should be valued higher than lesser shooters.

Fit is matter of perspective and the nice thing about Flagg being a 2-way stud is that he should fit with any and everyone.  No disrespect to Luka or Dirk, but that's a nice change of pace.
