    no to ace bailey

    he has high bust potential

    questioning harpers ability too

    they did not win

    did not see defense in either of the two guys

    edgecombe tempting

    he is a dawg on both ends

    if no flagg or edgecome trade down pick up a 26 pick and draft rasheer

    imagining a trade with portland 4th pick plus jabari for rw3 their 2025 pick and 26 pick unprotected

    If we get the #1 pick, Brooks becomes the leader of the bench brigade.

    I like Bailey more than Harper.

    Fun to dream about what this team would look like with Flagg because not only are you getting Flagg, you're probably also make a pretty major consolidation trade to free up minutes for him since we have so many forwards. I'd imagine it would be Dillon and one of Tari or Jabari packing their bags, maybe with some salary filler, and that's serious value going out the door. What does that get you? Coby White and Vucevic? Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton? Throw in some picks and get Trey Murphy and Jose Alvarado? The possibilities are endless.

    The domino effect would have us upgrading at multiple positions.

    First, you smack your head to make sure it's not a dream. Then draft Flagg, and punch whoever in the face for even thinking about trading Flagg. You start him.

    LOL. Flagg will be better at age 20 than anyone on our team ever was. Just wait until he beefs up more and can knock people around in the paint AND shoot free throws and 3 pointers.

    Getting the #1 pick and passing on Cooper Flagg would make me seriously consider lighting myself on fire in front of the Toyota Center.

    Stone would be public enemy #2 in Texas after Nico.

    Then you choose Flagg and add him to an already contending team.
