I like the Flagg/Havlicek comparison.  But for me, it’s Philly Iguodala mixed with GS Iguodala at the same time with more upside on both ends.  Or Shane Battier with way better counting stats.
 

I do think it’s more likely he is a consistent all-star/3rd team NBA than transcendent.  But also think he’s going to have his share of rings when all is said and done.  

Oh yeah? With what team?

I'm not accusing anyone of being racist but I honestly think his skin color and nationality is a serious mental block for a lot of people. Whether it's conscious or subconscious. 

I'm absolutely guilty of this. I don't watch college basketball anymore save for bouncing around the competitive tournament games for a couple of weekends a year, so it's hard not to be a little skeptical. It's been a long ass time since the NBA has had all All-NBA caliber American white dude. You have to go back to Minnesota Kevin Love. Before him, all the way back to John Stockton and Mark Price. Even if you lump Steve Nash with them, that's a lot of under-the-rim, "coach on the floor" type skill sets. Gordon Hayward's best year was 22, 5, and 4.

REPORT: Jonathan Kuminga is expected to re-sign with the Warriors

Don’t think this arrangement is going to make either side happy in the end.

Steve Kerr: having personal vendettas against young players, then trading them way past their peak worth since 2014.

#557

RFA is pretty much dead now, since there is little to no cap space. Players are now stuck with their team for that 5th year. They don't have much leverage to negotiate either. Probably best to do a 1 year deal and then hit free agency the next year.

He’s not a fit on the team and Kerr won’t play him. This an automatic summer trade on 29 other teams.

I was chatting up some T Wolves staffers/trainers at the Omni in OKC during the WCF and I was surprised how the entire organizations outright hate each other.

The Mavericks are shutting down Cooper Flagg for the remainder of Summer League, per @TheSteinLine (Via @DLLS_Mavs / h/t @NationMffl )

 

#568

it’s about how much flagg keeps growing as a player. his floor is already very high, it’s his ceiling that seems to be the question for most people. and yeah, if he was black it would not be as big of an issue. and that’s probably fair.

#569

Why are we giving any credence to some ridiculous over the to post but a deranged poster. No one has said anything about Cooper Flagg not being good or when claimed he was overrated. Some whack job claims he's the 2nd coming of LeBron James and is incredulous that people aren't full theoatedly supporting that ludicrous claim that is not only unfair to Flagg but is essentially setting him up for failure if he doesn't go to fucking 10 finals.

With health, Flagg is going to be a 15-time all star.  Insane that he's only 18 years old.

Dallas' big challenge now is how to effectively build around him and not become the 03-10 Cavs.

Cooper Flagg drops 31 PTS in his second summer league game 😳 Who does his game remind you of? 🤔

 

Definitely looks like Grant Hill in these clips

Simmons will spend 2 hours minimum discussing this with Russillo. His trade ideas should be funny/regarded. 

#576

No reason to trade for him when he's scheduled to be a FA in 2029.  Kid is a massive Celtics fan and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he is wearing green come October 2029.

There seems to be a disconnect here. I'm comparing Flagg as a prospect to who he reminds me of. The only other wing/forward that young with that good of an all-around game was LeBron. I don't feel the need to pretend otherwise but I get why the LeBron comp is sacrilege to most people. 

I think Flagg will be a high-level franchise player and probably have a great career. That doesn't mean he's going to score 40,000 points and win 200 playoff games. 

It's more likely that Flagg winds up as good as Pippen or Hill or Tatum or whoever (Havlicek) and not LeBron. That doesn’t change the fact that at 18 he is better than all of those guys.

JFC

Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left knee Monday to treat an injury suffered during a recent workout, a team official tells ESPN. George will now begin a rehab program and be re-evaluated prior to start of training camp.

LAC appears to be building a contender (if this was 7 years ago)

[Charania] Three-time NBA All-Star Bradley Beal has agreed to a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns and plans to join the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year, $11 million deal with a player option after clearing waivers, Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports told ESPN.

Honestly, Bradley Beal completing his career without being a Clipper at some point would have been an injustice.

#591

Not sure what I was expecting for a billion fucking dollars. Looks nice I guess. The inside sure looks like the inside of an arena alright. The price tag is still stupid af, especially with the owners pitching in only like $50M.

The new arena, shown in this conceptual rendering, will feature a 360-degree glass curtain wall providing all concourses a view of the city skyline. This rendering shows a Thunder Alley festivities area will be included on the west plaza of the arena.

 

Unlike the current Paycom Center, the future home of the Thunder is being designed for NBA play. Architects are designing the arena to provide all spectators a closer view of the action and a bowl that will add even more amplification of cheering in the upper decks known as “Loud City.”

The good thing is the glass is going to be reinforced to survive tornado-force winds and debris slamming into it during the spring and summer

Sooo clippers get Beal for free basically while PHX pays him not to play for them.


What a disaster last 4 years since they lost to the bucks for that front office. Probably could’ve done something more with Booker/ Cam Johnson and bridges than what KD and Beal provided and what you ended up getting back for both of them.

From what I understand of Essengue's game (mind you almost exclusively from Russillo), that face will be something we need to get used to.
