2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[SleepingHero]

either pj or gafford or even both will get traded this summer. lively is more valuable but Flagg doesn't want him traded apparently.

I'm starting to pump the brakes on that idea to be honest. Ever since I read Dan's post about a potential lineup including all of Flagg/Klay/PJ/AD/Lively, I got pretty freaking excited. The size and defensive versatility of that lineup would be something I don't think the NBA has had really. 

Of course it hinges on Flagg being able to "run" an offense. He's shown flashes of it. He was one of the most efficient PnR players in college this past season.

Gafford is great insurance as well. AD's injury history is well known at this point. Lively has been as unlucky as it gets. Gafford backing those two up is about as good of a scenario as I can possibly imagine.
