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.
Flagg may be good enough to contend for a title now but the team as a whole isn’t even close. Which is the problem people have with this extension, cuz Naji doesn’t move the needle really, he’s more of a glue guy on a very good team would be his best fit. Maybe we become a very good team in the next few years, but right now we are not.
