If you are the Mavs, do you try to trade for Giannis (if he becomes available) or keep the pick?

What do you guys see in Flagg? He is a slightly better Chet 2.0. He will not be a superstar.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Anthony Davis and Giannis wouldn’t ’work well together. Cooper can make an immediate impact and have their future secured.

 

[Po pimp]

Why do yall keep comparing Chet to Cooper? Their games are nothing alike, plus Chet is a good 4-5 inches taller.

 

[Hersh]

Trading AD and Kyrie and doing a full rebuild around Cooper can also be another option.

can they get the best young center in league . the best young PG in the league and the best young wing? for AD. kirie. klay.pj and gaf? I think they can.. but can Nico do it. prob keep lively. who else young and good enough to keep lol?

 

[Hersh]

i see coop as a more polished saar/zacharie or whatever.. def not generational but heel be ok

Dallas clearly has a preference when it comes to their franchise player. They'd never trade Flagg for Giannis

I never thought of this but you're right, its been white boys carrying the face of the franchise for a quarter century

I was listening to The Odd Couple tonight and Rob made a point I never thought about. In the '85, they had three first round picks and drafted

Detlef Schrempf
Bill Wennington
Uwe Blab

Notably passing on Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, and Charles Oakley. Detlef wasn't a scrub and had a solid career but Uwe Blab?

 

[pete clemenza]

Keep the pick. If Flagg pans out he'll be a goldmine for the team.

Just take Flagg and thank Silver for these turn of events

You go with Giannis imo. Cooper may be a superstar but at the end of the day, we just don't know. He could end up a 20ppg guy which is great but not star quality that will get you titles. You get Giannis you have 1) Giannis who's won a title with an average supporting cast 2) AD who's won a title leading his team in damn near ever stat category and 3) Kyrie, who had an amazing 2016 Finals and hit the biggest shot ever. 3 stars that are experienced and have proven to be ice cold all in their own way.

You get about 3 years to try to win with that cast, and then you can rebuild after.

I understand health is an issue, but damn near ever star player now seems to be in an injury risk. You just gotta roll the dice.

 

[BigTyme Records]

Nah all 3 are injury prone. And 30. Just draft Flagg

 

[Captain Crunch]

Why not offer the #1 pick for Luka?

Reaves and Flagg. Two great White Americans on the same team.

[Michael's Black Son]

Why would they trade for Giannis with they have AD?

Because he’s largely comprised of whatever material dry ramen is
