2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[Chicagojk]

When you started, I thought this was a Gafford proposal.  Why not Gafford/Hardy for Ball/12 in the scenario where Chicago wants a center.

Yeah, maybe.  I haven't really thought that much about it.   I guess the negatives for the Bulls would be: 1) they had Gafford before and pretty much gave him away.  2) Gafford is on an expiring and wanting a raise.  Would it be easier just to hope a center falls to 12?  3) Hardy is a negative asset getting 6 million for the next two.

So I am not sure if that would move Chicago.  I could be wrong though.

I am sure they would love to get off Patrick Williams contract though.
