Replying to more posts in this one.
I didn't realize other teams also have the NO pick
GSW is already reported to be out of Davis sweepstakes as their only possible matching salaries are Butler or Green (with Kuminga) and neither team is interested to trade or receive them. Toronto only has longterm salaries on overpaid role players, no expirings. Best young player they can offer is who? Gradey Dick? You might not be a fan of Zach, but he is several levels worse than him.
Risacher is of course not at Flagg level, but he is huge for his position and a decent shooter and defender. His on/off is actually positive. Still only 20 years old. Repeating again, there are reports that Mavs actually inquired about him, so they obviously do see things they like. Toronto doesn't have anyone close to his potential. Neither does GSW, unless you are a huge Kuminga fan. Not sure what sophomore slump people are speaking about. The only thing that got slightly worse is number of shot attempts. Other than from FT, his shooting percentages slightly increased, so did his efficiency. He has more steals and less TO than last season. He is not a #1 option on Atlanta (was more like number 4 or 5). He will likely not be a star, but has all the tools to be a very good two-way wing.
Out of these reported teams, Atlanta can actually provide by far most appealing offer even without the NO pick you are so fixated on.
