Totally agree with this premise. Not sure I agree that Gafford's deal is "very very reasonable" if the plan is to keep him here, but it's also not the end of the world. So in general, I'm with you.

Could "both" beGafford and Irving?

LeBron and Nash, from Mind the Game, talking Cooper Flagg. I've cued it up to the relevant part, and they stay on that topic for quite a while. I don't think those who want to "sell and get young" right away are pushing a viewpoint totally without merit, but I encourage everyone to listen to what these two basketball geniuses, both of whom understand the NBA life more than any of us ever will, have to say on the matter.

Cooper Rush isn’t very good though.

My wife yelled at me last night during a newscast, "Cooper Rush is doing an interview... hurry!"

Cannot believe Cooper Flagg is a Maverick.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.

Sadly, I think you are right. I went back and listened again and there is nothing to indicate he was talking about Gafford/PJ. I think I was so enamored with the answer about him asking PJ if he could play with Flagg while at the workout that my brain assumed "both" meant both of the extension guys. Gafford and Irving are much more likely what he meant.
