    Our pick is top ten protected. OKC has the right to swap their pick for the highest amongst LAC and ours - so we just have to be better than LAC to keep our pick if not in top 10. Then we have the right to swap our pick (or OKC’s) for the Suns pick.

    Maybe we should trade for that Ball kid. He looked pretty good compared to our brick layers.

    There is nothing that we can offer that would get Flagg. Even if we included Sengun and Amen along with every Suns pick. That ship sailed when traded the Nets picks.

    Sadly yes. Low probability to scooper the Cooper.

    FYI, Cooper is 6'9".

    Some of the tanking teams are ear marking him as a probable PF (not necessarily just a center). Not saying we give up on Bari and our chance of a Cooper is unlikely anyways.

    But his position is just a big, not pigeonhole to a 5.

    He’s not a center at all.
    He’s a 3/4 and probably the best American prospect to come out since Lebron

    I'd trade anyone on this team for some Cooper tires at this point

    Jabari and 10 first rounders. Might get us the 7th pick.

    Would you do Amen + Bari for Flagg + salary filler? :D

    As much as I love Amen, I would do that trade. I don’t think they would accept it though.

    I don’t want to tank. I want to make the playoffs with the team we have.

    Fine, but it’s boring. Let’s coach our youngins’ up and see what happens. I remember when fans used to root for their team, not players specifically.

    Jokes aside, there is a real chance OKC(via Clippers) or Spurs gets Cooper Flag while we have another mediocre season narrowly missing the playoffs.
