2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[F Gump]

Assuming that Myles Turner will get his 30mil per year extension, the Pacers will be roughly 3 mil over the 1st apron line by a quick glance at Spotrac. 

Also assuming that the Pacers would like to avoid the 1st apron, could the Mavs potentially send Hardy+ 2029 FRP for TJ McConnell+23rd pick?

This deal does avoid the 1st apron for IND by about 1 mil. The Mavs conversely add about 4 mil to their payroll (plus the 23rd pick rookie scale), but do solve the need for a PG.

A1 vs A2 is an almost pointless distinction. 

They won't trade TJ -- the idea of shedding the pick is to allow them to KEEP their core of which he is an ongoing part. 

I think you are WAY high on Turner. I'm expecting 20M or so. He's not THAT special.
