2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[SleepingHero]

Laughing at other teams dumb GMs doesn’t hit like it did last year.

Tonight we forget about everything and just live in Flagg world. 

Tomorrow we can sober up.

[SleepingHero]

Damn. Spurs again with a solid pick.

Carter Bryant is a solid selection at 14 and fits well with their roster. Especially if they end up trading Vassell.

Seems 1st rounders are in pretty high demand contrary to the popular belief.

Yeah I agree.  It may change later first, but Mavs don’t have many attractive pieces.  That is ok.

Spurs got their Flagg stopper

Would you trade the Lakers pick for Jako?

[SleepingHero]

I think right now the price is high, but once teams like Brooklyn, Boston, and others with so many picks, the price will drop.

Brooklyn has way too many not to sell some off.

[SleepingHero]

Would you trade the Lakers pick for Jako?

I wouldn't.

I just value that Lakers pick SO highly. It's the biggest piece we have to build around Flagg in 2-3 years. 

We need to keep that pick.

But I would trade any combination of Omax+Hardy+Martin+Naji for another FRP.

[Mavs2021]

My early highlights mock holding up pretty well. Then Nico killed my interest for any further evaluation. I said from day one Essengue is the better Ulm prospect compared to Saraf when the mocks rated them the other way around, but damn the Bulls sure like to gamble.

[Mavs2021]

Would you trade the Lakers pick for Jako?

Traore is the better Euro prospect.

Don't forget Powell.

[Chicagojk]

So PJ, max, Marshall, and Dwight were all at the dinner with Cooper last week.

[Mavs2021]

Think he´ll go to Minnesota now.

Seems 1st rounders are in pretty high demand contrary to the popular belief.

But this draft is supposed to be terrible?!

[SleepingHero]

OKC takes a 3rd string center lol.
Makes sense. Especially if they end up moving Chet eventually.

[Mavs2021]

So PJ, max, Marshall, and Dwight were all at the dinner with Cooper last week.

Of course Dwight was there as the future Mavs GM not as a player.

[SleepingHero]

Don't forget Powell.

Diamond Powell can never leave. I love him as a dude as long as we have 6 other guys ahead of him in the depth chart.

[SleepingHero]

Of course Dwight was there as the future Mavs GM not as a player.

We could do worse than a Stanford educated 6'10 diamond of a man to be our GM.

@MikeACurtis2
Cooper Flagg was asked if Jason Kidd has given him any assurance that he'll be his coach amid the speculation about him leaving for the #Knicks job:

"No, I haven't had those conversations yet at all. But I think talking with Coach Kidd, my workout & even after I got picked, I was on the phone with him for a minute. I think he's just excited. He has a good vision for me for what I can do & how I can impact the game. So I'm excited to just talk to him more."

Sorber proabaly is the Hartenstein replacement with his bloated salary. Sorber season was cut short but I liked what I saw. Not really tall but great wingspan.
