it would have at the very least a Wolf sized hole
The 8th pick in this draft is better than the previous year 8 pick. The ATL pick may be > also this year. But turning last year pick and change into Fox while offloading some of our roster clutter was solid.
Point being there are multiple ways to skin this cat but needy as we are we can also bring in 3 draft picks. But if a solid veteran comes up you look at it.
We do need to be all in either way and not just punt again. But even that can be undone in the near term (see Fox deal).

very littel off the dribble shooting in general. very little 2 point jump shooting. to me the key stat for his ability to hold up at the NBA level is going to be the "off screen 3pt" stuff. his percentage there held up well
why would you want Flagg in the Western conference? It‘s already a bloodbath while the East doesn‘t have a lot of star players
I want fun teams. I don't care what conference they are in.
Scott NOP is the absolute last place I want Flagg.
Imagine having to tune in to those awful announcers to watch Flagg play. And that horrible Pelicans court.
Just like what he did with Wemby, Silver will make sure he goes to a legendary franchise. I say he’s going to the Bulls.
The all tall lineup
Giddey
White
Matas
Flagg
Vucevic
so basically this team sucks at everything when it comes to basketball. Which is why I want them to use all 3 picks, because about 50% of this roster are borderline NBA players.
Nope. What his stats indicate is that the Spurs are lacking bigs who can rebound and overall physicality like I’ve been saying tbh
Kon and Sorber. Let’s go.
that‘s OUR conference. I‘m pretty sure you‘d want the Spurs to win les. It‘ll be hard enough to go through OKC, Houston and Memphis. I don‘t need another stacked young team with Flagg around to make it even more difficult while you can make the playoffs in the East going 32-50
It also lacks a head coach, a back up big, reliable 3-point shooting, basketball IQ and overall defense among other things…
What do the Wizards have? Jazz? Hornets? Nets? Raptors? A bunch of these teams wish they had a franchise player like we do, a second star like we do, and an up and coming third star like we do. Those fans WISH they had what we have.
I feel like we’re making excuses for why our big three can’t carry the team going forward and ready to give them a pass for not developing into a big three like they’re supposed to. To some extent, Wemby by himself should be able to make the entire team good enough if he’s a generational player like we all claim he is. If the team doesn’t make the playoffs next season because Wemby and Fox willed them there, then maybe just maybe they’re not cut out to be the next big thing in the league. I don’t believe I’ve seen a mega star like Wemby fail to make their team succeed at some decent level within the first three years before OR fail so much through three seasons and then suddenly be good. It’s make or break for Wemby next year.
The 10th seeded EC team is only two games better than the 10th seeded WC team (and in fact the top ten teams in the East have a combined 20 less wins than the top 10 teams in the west, so on average the East is two games behind).
In any event... I still don't care about lessening compe ion in the West so that my team can win, because I'm not a ass ho.
I watch the games to see the players, not listen to the announcers or look at the courts, tbh. Of all the lotto teams (aside from the Spurs), the potential roster construction with Flagg in NOP is the most fun. It's pretty simple, tbh. CHI, WAS, MIA, POR, SAC would be my next choices for fun destinations (in that order).
I don't want Flagg blowing out his knee nor tearing his achilles being a second thought to the Saints' training staff. Worst possible place for him. I'm on the anywhere but NOP or Portland bandwagon if he ain't coming to SA.
I watched a YouTube that disagrees with your basic premise, and I found their logic sound. They said if Flagg went to NO, his 3 pointer would have to translate IMMEDIATELY, or he’d really struggle because Zion operates almost exclusively in the paint, leaving no room for Flagg there.
My Flagg to NOP scenario involves Zion being moved.
Everyone's allowed to have their own destination they think is most fun for Flagg to land. Mine is NOP, regardless of what YouTube says.
Agree scott. Nothing wrong with that. Good to be in the minority sometimes
It would be fun to see Zion, Flagg, Tre, Herb on the court at the same time that’s an awesome combination of athleticism, skill, shooting, defense when looking at it from a purely b ball persextive
TBH, that’s exactly what that video said, Zion would need to be moved.
Maine > Duke > Utah for Flagg
shooting from McCain looked similar to Kon. much better off the dribble tough.

So annoying suns handing over a top 10 pick to rockets.No heart from them cowards.Hopefully they dont
get better pick then us.
If Fleming is available at ATL pick, then I’d take Sorber with Spurs own and Fleming with ATL pick. I’d run either one besides Wemby defending on the opposing team. Call that greedy at getting defensive big. I like Kon, but worse case I can put Champ as Danny Green role at 3nD. Fox, Castle, Champ, Fleming, Wemby. Or Wemby, Sorber against team with jumbo bigs.
SRP I’d take a backup PG. If CP3 is willing to return as backup PG/mentor, even better.
CMB ultimate upside is to be able to be a small ball 5 in closing lineups and be the offensive hub in a handoff offense. None of which applies to our team.
If Maluach slides to our range after the Houston game, you have to take him right?
