Future Spur: Cooper Flagg

[Splits]

It's a shame the NBA wanted to reward Dallas for the Luka ordeal. Flagg would've been a seamless and much-needed fit on this current roster. He, Wemby, Castle, and Fox would've been a great core for years to come. What could've been tbh. For shame.

No, that is not my theory. Nowhere did I say that. You literally just pulled that out of your ass "bro" . I'm suggesting that a multi-billion dollar corporation like the NBA might be opportunistic at times and want to control its assets, much like any other multi-billion dollar corporation. Kyrie getting injured had nothing to do with it, nor did them losing their Play-In game. I'm suggesting that once it was established that the Mavs were going to be selecting in the lottery, it's not inconceivable that the NBA wanted to capitalize on the opportunity and reward them with the #1 Pick at a time where their fanbase is revolting.

And to pretend like I'm the only person suggesting this theory is hilarious when it was the #1 trending topic on the internet the minute the Mavs on the lottery. Tens of thousands of people suggested the exact same when it happened.

Do you realize you're a ing lying piece of ? How would the NBA want to reward Dallas for the Luka deal before "it was established" the Mavs were drafting in the lottery? Just:
1) go get a huge bottle of lube and go yourself
2) continue to worship q-anon
3) stfu

Do you realize you're a massive crybaby got who's taking this WAYY too seriously...? It's the NBA Draft Lottery "bro," quit getting so triggered about it, goddamn . Bringing up Q-anon when talking about basketball to try and put emphasis on your narrative

Get off my nuts tubby. Imagine crying this much over a harmless basketball discussion .

"Please bro . The NBA would never do this bro . It's not Q-anon bro . I'm serious bro . I'm very upset about this bro . Please bro "

Cooper Flagg withdrawing from the draft, returning to Duke for one more year. Wow, that really changes everything.

And they were gifted back with a potential generational talent Flagg. That’s what giving up your franchise player to the Lakers do. See Pelicans traded AD to the Fakers got, Zion.

pelicans won zion lottery before AD trade happened

You add weight four of the balls that combo for Dallas so they fall to the bottom of the chamber.

That could work, but those balls would keep coming up over and over for subsequent draws. The balls are not switched out at any point.

If you weight the balls enough to guarantee Dallas gets the #1 pick, their combination would come up every time and it would be obvious what happened. If you only weight them slightly, there's still a big chance Dallas doesn't get the pick, made even worse because Dallas had so few combos.

And then those come out over and over. You have to draw the first four draft positions, not just #1. I think if one Dallas combo keeps coming out, people are going to be su ious. If you try to rig more than 4 balls, you risk one of those 5 combos being for the wrong team.

You just hire one of those magicians I see on the internet who can do like shuffle cards into any order you ask them to. Those guys seem to have this figured out.

I can’t believe you call yourself a spurs fan. Manu already explained it 15 years ago

With AI, now we can create a David Blaine x Manu Ginobili x Insane Clown Posse mashup. I'm giggling just thinking about it.

^ insane clown posse. Haven’t heard that in a while.

Back to Flagg. I see him more as a modern day Scottie Pippen or a Paul George 2.0. Now whether he can translate that into an alpha when both of those were betas (great betas) is another question. But if Flagg can create more on offence than Pippen did and learn to be a dominate scorer he could be absolutely amazing, but that is unlikely. I see him as an absolutely dominant #2.
