    Not sure we've ever had so many good options at once? Bright future for the league

    If Tatum/Haliburton recover like Durant it would be half the teams in the league.

    Jokic
    Giannis
    SGA
    Wemby
    Flagg
    Luka
    Cade
    Paolo
    Mobley
    JJJ
    Yang
    Edwards

    Flagg is healthy, young and has a two way game..clearly a franchise player. Yang is also but probably not a franchise player as much as part of a big 3....Wemby has health flags and Jokic is no spring chicken...I'm building around youth and longevity if I choose a franchise player, at this stage it's Flagg. If you need a proven winner on an NBA level to build around, then go with SGA.

    I’ll take the turnovers from a 1st team all league player. As well as the merchandise/tickets/social media and international exposure. Yeah, I’d be cool with that. Especially for a brand new franchise starting from scratch.

    Well, that’s too obvious.

    Pretty sure he meant BESIDES Yang.
