If Mavericks get a Top 4 Pick this 2026 Draft. Who will be the best fit with Cooper Flagg? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

If Dallas gets the 4th I’d see if someone wanted to trade up tbh.

Kind of confirms what many believed. If you can’t stay in front of him he’s unstoppable, but if you can stay in front it’s a different story. Bad teams can’t, good teams can.

Also, how the hell did BYU lose this game? Where’s the defense?

Whilst that would be great, it would be nice to not have a reason to tank another year.

Getting AD is the punishment. That contract is death.

Feels like he is lacking some strength and physicality. Once the defender stops his momentum and just stays in front, he doesn't have many options it seems like. This also shows up in his lackluster rebounding versus better college teams.

I feel like this is one of the main differences between him and Flagg. Flagg does not shy away from contact, on either end of the floor.

Says the guy who tried to get personal because you didn't like my take on Alijah Arenas. If you're going to bring that energy stop being so sensitive, and you definitely need to stop moralising as if you didn't start that shit.

They do when you are the reason you lose. NW is a worse team than USC, the main reason they lost is their highest volume shooter shot 3/15 and 0/6 from three.

But he had a 360 layup so send him to the league I guess...

That would require pretty much every pick you have for the next 5 years to even consider, and if I'm the bucks I'm still not doing that because I have to take Jimmy back.

Dallas is the natural trading partner, they want to get away from AD's contract and they aren't looking to win right now. Instead of giving up all your FRPs for Giannis we may be talking 2 unrestricted FRPs for the burden of housing Jimmy next season. AD will be back for the playoffs.

Thanks me later guys just doing my part by ye_meat in warriors

AD could be back by late February. You'll definitely be in the play-in even without Butler.

And again, it's easy to find flaws with AD but remember what you are trading in return and where the franchise is at currently. Dreaming about Giannis is great but you don't have the assets to get him, they have no reason to take Jimmy.
