    Sounds about right. Let's start Ayton Grant Ant and we can bury Scoot/Sharpe/Clingan on the bench.

    Id much rather have #5 than #11.... So wouldn't say Utah got nowhere.

    I'm all for trying to win 100% - but with youth. I never understood what the purpose of the AntGrantAyton big 3 was on our team.

    If I were the Flagg I'd be pissed about who my GM is going to be. They do have good fans. Assuming both come back from their injuries you do have two HOF teammates... sorry with Klay that's three HOF teammates on the back end of their careers but still you have a chance (if healthy) to immediately contend for a title. If I was Flagg I would make a point of having a good, independent of management, relationship with ownership. If you feel like Nico is up to some whack shit, just have him fired. I think Flagg will be good enough to have that dynamic.

    It while I said what I said about being happy for Mavs fans after Nico fucked them this season it does sting a little more that it was a team behind us that got Flagg. He would have been what we need.

    Not that I'd put it past our current franchise but Bobby Marks is absolutely useless. His information almost never reflects any reality besides the objective stuff... that being cap related. His trade ideas never make any sense, he openly says that he no longer has any sources in the league. I'm pretty damn sure Marks knows where all of the bodies are buried at ESPN because his personality is non existent on top of everything else.

    I mean what guy who actually was an assistant GM and doesn't keep up with front offices around the league once they move to TV basically just so he doesn't have to come up with trades based on any legit rumors... or maybe Marks is still really plugged in and he just doesn't give a fuck about the fans and does his boring ass shit instead of giving us anything of value. That probably is it because I swear that dude has never proposed a trade that made sense or has happened and I feel like he would have tripped and fallen into being right by now if he wasn't actively trying to be wrong. He does, to his credit always say that his lame ass shit is not sourced at all, I just don't know why ESPN uses him.

    Fell asleep and woke up pissed off bc of this BS… I’m still salty about it.

    It’s not even about us not moving up, or falling back.

    Fuck the Mavs, and Fuck the Spurs too. The fact that they went 1 and 2 is probably worse case scenario imo. Maybe the only thing that would have been worse is if the Spurs were the ones who ended up with Flagg.

    Nah, you got the wrong Texas team this time. If the Rockets got the first pick and the Spurs got the second that would be far far worse.
