    I think the Spurs did not expect to be this good this season, and the 10th pick was slightly higher than the Spurs' 2nd pick.

    I live in Dallas and I give that Cooper is good but doesn’t have that special aura that Luka had even in rookie season. I just gave up on Mavs since our front office don’t have any brain cell (letting Luka and Burnson go) and I’m pretty sure Cooper won’t be finishing his career here when we always to compare him to Luka and Dirk. I know Rockets look bad right now but sitting 4th in the west where other teams below you guys are also having issues and Rockets still have buttload of picks and tradeable assets by next season

    The shooting woes could be helped with a better offensive system.

    Ime's offense: the wrong guys get the ball at the wrong time in the wrong place and are expected to score. Not exactly optimum.

    This is crazy. Coop is as good a 19 year old as anybody I’ve ever seen, except, maybe, Lebron. Offensively he is not Luka or Dirk, yet. Defensively he is already better.

    Mavs just in Finals two years ago. Brunson was a major slip, but Luka seems pre-planned by the league -- trade Luka to Lakers, then immediately draft a future HOF. Flagg looks amazing when considering his age. Probably an All-Star next year.
