2026 NBA draft thread

Interesting. Because for me that's exactly the reason why I want to see a clear cut and rebuild. Who is going to deliver the growth and development part. Only real standout prospects are Flagg and whoever they (hopefully) pick in the draft. 
Mavs have no reason not to try to win as many games as possible but they can do it with Flagg's timeline in mind or just looking at it from year to year.

I want an expert GM that rebuilds the team around Flagg. Starting from scratch. Not with the leftovers of a team that was build around Luka. Mavs are on a different timeline. Have different roster needs.

I would consider Lively in that group.  I have not given up on him yet.

I am all for getting younger and accumulating assets, but a full tear down is a hard sell when they can't take advantage of one of the main reasons for doing it (accumulating assets via sucking).
