2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[khaled1987]

If you trade Luka Doncic at 25yo 6months after the Finals than you can trade anyone.

Flagg has no where value (basketball and marketing) compared to Doncic right now,

I am looking at this as an outsider, and I am walking on an eggshell for this topic (and bear in mind that I never stepped a foot in the US) but isn't the first "white American first overall pick" since Kent Benson (1977 draft) is worthy a lot of hype from media & marketing perspective? Potentially first one that actually gets "super star" status since the 80's (or 90's depending on how you rate Stockton) too. 

I mean, it feels that with Flagg his marketing goes beyond his basketball abilities (which are amazing btw) assuming he lives up to the hype.

Also, it isn't like Nico and the Adelsons are getting praise from the Luka trade. They know they fucked up and trading Flagg is a double down on this.

Anyway, we aren't getting the first overall pick so it doesn't matter.
