We agree that I don't think they should be trading 3 first round picks right now for someone like Giannis, Kawhi, etc.
Year 4 Flagg? Still on a rookie deal. I might think differently. We get a front row seat to his growth and development.
Obviously there will be different conversations in two years depending on where this team is at. But if you really think your best window is within the next three years, that will affect your decisions now. It sounds like you don't want to operate under that mindset right now so we are basically saying the same thing. We can talk about what makes sense for the team in two years in two years.
