2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[SleepingHero]

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 cote 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.

My valuation on Turner isn’t coming from my own personal thoughts on what he SHOULD get. I don’t think he deserves more than that 20 mil number. But his camp is demanding a 30 mil a year type of extension. He could easily force a trade to another team willing to give him that given how desperate some teams are for a center. I think IND will oblige closer to that 30 mil number than the 20 because of Turner’s role and years with the team. 

And if they do give Turner that 20+ mil extension, they will be over the tax line. They have about 19.5 mil of space before the tax line. They are already vocal about moving their FRP for air tells me they want to avoid any aprons entirely.
