I am not that concerned about timelines or even fit. When you have a talent like Flagg management always has to battle two timelines.
Flagg is good enough to strongly contend for a title now.
He is also young enough where 5 years from now he still will be 2 years from his prime. So in a way it is too early to worry too much about fit.
The reality is that a lot of the players be they 19 or 28 will not be around 5 years from now as management fiddles to get the best combination around Flagg. There is no exact science.
All I know is that we got two very good folks in the front office. Sure Stevens or Presti might be better but we weren’t getting them. If we can’t be patient and trust these guys be it this extension or anything else, who are we going to be happy with?
Let’s see what they do with all the assets that they have now and how it plays out in the next 3 years.
