Flagg to Mavs

BiffTFinancial said:
Yeah but I feel as if Flagg deserves better (and so does the game) than him going to that poverty org. It's like Joe Thomas and Myles Garrett having to waste their careers on the Browns.

If the nba had any motivation to rig the lotto I think it was def more to do with not letting a potential big time American born stsr getting buried on that team and nobody noticing him.

The great American (white) hope?
When was the last time Duke player became NBA star?
Tytum, Kyrie and maybe Banchero?

Those are 3 pretty big recent stars no? I’m trying to think of more stars in the league at the moment from another school? probably Kentucky, drawing a blank on another at the moment. Not sure outside Brunson id consider any the other nova guys stars?

I get what you saying the fact he white certainly gives him more hype but think his game this season pretty much justified it. I can’t recall where this came from but I remember when the most recent Olympic team worked out in Vegas before the Olympics he was there and it was talked about some days he looked like the best player on the floor.

I’ve maybe watched him only 5-8 times total, he seems to have a pretty good all around game. Is there something about him you don’t like or think overrated?
 
RJ Barrett is quietly averaging 21 points per game in Toronto.

What exactly happened to Cam Reddish? Is he on a team right now?

Interestingly, I found this article that asks the same question...it was written 15 years ago: Why are so many Duke Blue Devils awesome in college and awful in the pros?

I havnt clicked on to read it but I think ya gotta take into account for a long while duke didn’t seem to go after the 1 and done after the out of high school rule change the way coach cal did at uk. Wanna say Duke philosophy switched on those kinda kids far more recently but again my memory ain’t the greatest and it been worse lately with all my life shit going on.

Bucks should do this immediately if possible ..But I'm guessing the Mavs would want more ?? Or maybe I'm crazy

I think based on the rules mavs would have to give up a lot more to make the salaries match, nba rules on these things confuse me tho so I’m not exactly sure how it goes.

You think mavs should get more? Giannis one the best 2-3 players in the league and Flagg is 18, that incredibly insulting to Giannis! Look what mavs just took for Luka, they not exactly masters of the trade! Lol.

Yeah they would..But to be honest if rather have Flagg moving forward if I were the MAVS
 
I like the rumor circling now that Boston just got bought for huge sum of $ and Tatum is out. What if the conspiracy is Brown + Jrue for Kyrie (that can't play next season because of injury) and Flagg. Klay + AD + Brown + Jrue - all in the same mindset, Boston get probably high pick + "New Larry Bird" and I understand he is huge Celtics fan.
Just something I read. Doubt it will happen, but if it will - it will be huge...
