NBA NBA Thread: Gamble Gate

[Croaker]

So basically there is talk Kidd is going to try playing Flagg some at the 2, a 6'9" shooting guard, because that allows the Mavs to put a HUGE team on the floor. DLive at the 5, 7'1", AD at the 4, listed as 6'10" but people say he's taller than that, PJ at the 3, 6'7", and Flagg at the 2 6'9"

Height doesn't matter as much as skill set. He'll be a guard/wing.

Offensively he's got everything you need to contribute at the NBA level, I think his low side is 15 ppg and 7 rebounds. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets like 10 ppg from off ball cuts.

I legitimately think he's the most skilled prospect since LeBron. Maybe more so. He's not the athlete LeBron was, but he's definitely a better basketball player at 18 years old than anyone else who's come out since then.

I don't understand the Paul George and Prozingis moves from the Hawks. They can be dynamic players but they are injured too often so it's a strange move to me.

I think they saw all the injuries in the east and decided to take a gamble.

Pretty much this.

Trey Young on the move?

I would have thought so too, but I think they're going all in with these injuries in an already weak east.

Ace Bailey's floor is insane, I think putting vets around him and building him would be better than this broken Trae Young experiment.

It would appear that OKC is now in fact claiming the 1979 Sonics title.

They are going to turn it over a lot. If they are trying to get ball handling reps like how Kidd did for Giannis to develop then they're gonna be tanking.

If youre tanking why have AD and Kyrie on the roster at their prime's end. I just dont get the timing!

Always been the organizations idea that they're holding it and will give it back if the Sonics ever exist again.

They never claimed it before. Look at the Wiki page now compared to a few days ago.
More importantly, they never wore the gold tab on their jersey collar.

I'm not sure how you concluded all that but they aren't drafting Flagg to not play him. He plays really well off-ball and will have an advantage over the majority of shooting guards in the league. Every time he touches the ball its going to be a mismatch unless you want to put a forward or a center on him in which case AD or DLive is going to have a mismatch.

Spurs are also going to be tough. Texas basketball is going to be relevant for years to come.

Best 3 team state in the NBA

Crazy that the Mavs only need an 11 win swing with Flagg to be a 50 win team...
