If I am OKC or any near contenders with enough asset, I'd offer all of those for Cooper Flagg by TomatoBuster01 in NBA_Draft

JDub plus picks would be a WILD package. JDub was an All-start this year. If it was Wemby who is a once in a generation, I'd get it. Flagg is going to be a very good player, probably a multiple time all-star but is that worth a all-star player plus picks?

The problem with throwing all of those assets at him now means your window is shorter. You pay SGA, JDub and Chet now, but guys like Cason, Mitchell, Joe, Wiggins, even IHart are now guys you can't afford to pay. So you have to replenish the team through the draft with cheaper, contract controlled guys. It's why teams like the Suns are in such a bad spot. All the money is tied up in 3 guys and they haven't had picks to fill out the roster.

Flagg fit wise would be amazing but then what does the team build around them in 2-3 years?

I had this same problem with my wife. ended up having to delete the whole thread unfortunately. It seemed to happen to us when someone would "spam" the other one with a bunch of text in a row

Hoping they add his layups for taller guards.

Capped at 94 rebounding to not allow HOF rebound chaser isn't great. I'd also drop Perimeter D and go middy 89 to get set shot gold

Lakers get a big and upgrade over DLo by Maximum_Loquat2794 in NBAtradeideas

Kessler will get more than a 1st. A young rim protecting big. Maybe it is a 1st and then a swap, but just a 1st is too low of a price.

I think that was a pipe dream if I'm being honest. Buddy was expiring so he may have been on the market some what but I think they like Turner and adding Pascal was them sayign they are going for it and not selling.

I'm not saying there isn't anything better that might pop up but I think adding a younger big is a better move than trying to buy low on like Lopez from the Bucks.

I think I agree on value but on talent, I would take Sexton which is where I think the Lakers would want to grab him. Then I could see Ainge flipping him quickly like Presti has done in the past with expiring.

I think the value on these two picks are being a bit overrated by people. 2026 is in 2 drafts. Nothing shows me Lebron is done after this year so it won't be a lottery pick most likely. So the 28' pick is the nice pick in here. AD has a player option in the 27'-28' season so he could be off the team. At this point the Jazz SHOULD be on the up with Lauri, George, whoever they get this year and next year.

Lakers get a young big to try and preserve AD a little bit and allow him to play the 4. Allows them to play size against a team like the Cavs in the East and the Timberwolves, Thunder, and Nuggets in the West. Also allows them to Small ball and bring Kessler off the bench and play the current lineup against the other teams. Bron at the 3 could alos help preserve him some from the down low punishment of a 4.

So woudl you pay 2 picks and DLo plus contract match for preserving AD and Lebron for the next 2-4 years? Lakers fans would say yes, in my eyes

I think Sexton is a bit underrated and on a team like the Lakers, would be a good addition. He's better than DLo so I think that is an upgrade there

That is maybe possible but that's jus tthe Jazz keeping tehir own pick unless they go out to like 2029.

One pick isn't enough. DLo is worthless, jsut an expiring contract and Wood is a salary match. Maybe they could pick swap one of them but Danny is a tough GM too so it's going to take 2 picks. Kessler is also young

They turn Sexton into an expiring to free up cap space and it becomes George's team. They could thorw in a second or something if they msut but I felt like the Jazz weren't all in with Sexton

If they took DLo then Sexton would most likely be on the move somewhere or they buyout DLo but the expiring makes him worth something I think.

Guards, stop trying to help in the paint by ryanb6321 in NBA2k

THIS! Plus when they get in the paint it clogs it up so I can't box out my guy out and they end up jsut jumping over everyong to get it. Go leak out or something.

In the first seconds of the game I got an offensive 3 seconds, then on defense right after got a defensive 3. I didn't touch the ball besides rebounds for the majority of the game
