Cooper Flagg's Draft Protection Insurance agency on pins and needles right now
Yeah I’d like to think this helps him fall to the Spurs but probably has no effect on his draft position at all.
Cooper Flagg's Draft Protection Insurance agency on pins and needles right now
Back on the court tbh.
well, he walked back to the bench. still ruled out
Is there talk about him not entering the draft?
One of the gambling books gave him higher odds of returning to Duke than playing for the Wiz or Hornets but I don't know if it means anything. He's also teased running it back a couple times.
I think it's all smoke, though.
Yea there's no way he turns down that kind of money to stay at Duke for another year. He's gone, even if it's to the Wiz, Hornets, Pelicans, etc.
OK, interesting. When can he pull out of the draft? Since you mentioned Wizards and Hornets, maybe there is some truth to it. If certain teams get the number 1 pick, maybe he doesn't want to play for them at all.
Why do people look at gambling odds like a crystal ball? Lol
Not sure what Cooper does if one of the three blind mice - wizards/pelicans/hornets - win the lottery. Those teams are where NBA careers go to die.
I wonder when we start hearing Cooper has a preference on teams and will he be “lucky” and land there.
Wemby wanting to be a Spur was the worst kept secret. If we’re being honest, kinda felt that’s where he would end up.
I have a feeling it’s Philly or Washington winning the lottery this year. Both biggish markets, Jewish Silver probably likes some balance of power between East and West.
If it’s West I think it’s going to Utah.
If I'm Flagg I just want to avoid NO and Portland at all costs. Charlotte though wouldn't be bad at all with MJ gone and with the talent they have on the roster.
X-Rays came back negative for Flagg. Good news. He’ll need to rest that ankle for a few days so we’ll see what his status is for the NCAA Tourney as I’m sure they won’t rush him back, but at least he avoided major injury tbh.
Philly is probably the best option. Charlotte is a dead franchise and will never get better, maybe if they dump LaMello. Region is all about college sports and dreaming of lynching Negroes anyway. His camp has to really hope for a miracle like Houston jumping up or something or else he's playing for a dead end nowhere franchise somewhere.
That'll be the second funniest ever if Phoenix's refusal to give up Devin Booker makes them hand Cooper Flagg over to the Rockets. Still won't be as funny as trading Luka for Street Clothes because Miriam Adelson and her failson are too cheap to pay a supermax to a top 3 player though.
Cooper doesn’t actually have to go back to college, he just needs to create enough of a credible threat that he’ll pull out of the draft to force the team with #1 into a game of chicken and maybe get them to trade the pick to somewhere “acceptable” to Flagg.
Not sure he’s actually that type of person, but that’s the kind of scenario that NIL money has kind of created. Very much an Eli Manning with the Chargers scenario. Could actually be the kind of thing that works in the Spurs favor if we landed at #2 for example. Flagg threatens to go withdraw and forces CHA to trade #1 for #2, Devin and a future first. If you’re CHA, you ask for Castle obviously… and honestly the Spurs should probably do that deal as much as I’d hate to lose Steph.
Can Cooper decide after the draft lottery if he's going to stay in college another year? When does he have to make that decision by if he were to do that?
Gambling odds are consistently the best predictor in every sport. The books ain't losing money.
Also, I expressed my own doubt in the odds. How the was I looking at it like a crystal ball?
Would a commissioner from the goyim think differently?
Even reciting the odds, man. And no they're wrong all the time. They're designed to take your money.
Selfishly, I want him to go to Philly. Even though they don't deserve it after the horrendous job that Morey's done recently with the Paul George desperation move, he's the only rookie who I could see significantly improving their team next year and I don't want them handing over like the number 5 pick in a loaded 2026 draft to OKC.
No, he has to withdraw before the draft… but he can withdraw after the lottery (something the NBA should consider changing, tbh).
I still argue that NOP would be the most fun for the league as a landing spot for Cooper.
Flagg/TMIII/DJM/Herb/Missi would be a of a core if they can move Zion and bring back a SG or Combo guard for that group. Herro, Ivey, Sharpe, Jalen Green, Coby White are all names of various caliber that I think would make that team fun. Not sure they’re going compete for a le… but they’d be a lot of fun.
glorified Luke Walton, but it's 2025 not 2003, I guess
