don’t speak this evil into the world

Flagg for an injury prone wemby.

He’ll be up for his first real FA period right as Tatum and Brown start to age out of the league.

Celtics fans were obnoxious about Hayward’s FA because of his college connection to Brad Stevens, it’ll be a whole extra level for Cooper.

He’ll be getting standing ovations from fans for the last couple of seasons of his rookie extension.

Not even the league is going to pull of a trade involving a player who’ll be out of the league by than.

7 years? They might do it this summer just to save time. You don’t wanna miss out on prime d ayton playoff runs.

Surprisingly true lol

If he keeps up this level of play, he’s not going to need many guys to miss the cut in order to make All NBA.

I really don’t think it’s unreasonable to say he’s a top 15 player in the league based off his last month. Wemby, Jokic, Shai, ant, Luka, Kawhi are probably the only guys you can say with 100% certainty are without a doubt better than cooper.

Like looking at the all stars you can defintely make the argument for cooper over alot of them

Jumping from #12 to #1 for a generational talent

Meanwhile Rockets tanked for like five seasons and never got a franchise player, Amen tbd ofc

Idk man why dont you try drafting a generational talent every year. Is ur FO stupid?

Unless they can put together a team around him i wouldn’t say that’s decided. And this is their last pick for 5 years so they can’t really tank to improve either. Plus the mavs owership signed off on the luka trade which means they really shouldn’t be trusted to build competently. I would still rather be in the rockets position 

Amen needs to improve his shooting stroke Jabari needs to improve his shot arc, if either one of these improvements happens yall are straight, Ime’s offense be damned, but yea you can’t have minimal leaps from top 5 picks and still be ascending

maybe this is a hot take but I think we might have the most starter calibre guys ever from this draft class. Coop, Kon, edgecomb, fears, dq, harper, ace, Egor demin, CMB, coward, carter Bryant, Gonzalez, Sion James ( I believe in him), Maxime raynaud, will Richards. Like I’d bet atleast 13 out of these 15 have multiple seasons averaging over 25 minutes.

Why in the world are you putting Edgecombe with those two?

Flagg and Kon are having historic rookie seasons. Flagg in particular is already starting to play like an MVP.

Edgecombe is a talented young player but he’s been erratic and looks more like a run of the mill good rookie with potential. VJ looks like he has All Star potential one day but not seeing a guy who can “carry the league” yet.

This is definitely going to be a historically good draft class, up there with 84, 96, 03, and 18.

Deffo will be interesting seeing their trajectories. As you say 2025 draft has every sign it could be an all timer.

Cade Cunningham

Jamal Mashburn in all his wisdom said Flagg would be 6th pick in this year’s draft.  

Absolutely not like the 2003 draft, Harper is elite but he gets a lot less touches

Just in case you needed reminding how fucking brain dead this sub is

Dude. I remember people saying that Cooper cannot dribble or create for himself coming into the league and that he’d be a 3&D guy at best…

Well…

People say stupid things

99% of people were saying he would be fine. You are fighting ghosts to get upvotes.

Pretty similar to the talks about Wemby early on in his rookie season and the summer league, it seems like people just wanted Wemby to fail and they wanted the same for Coop.

Calling him a bust after 6 games (dumb). All NBA after a stretch of 4 games (smart).

Ugh please don’t invoke one of the most wasted careers in the same name of Flagg. The Mavs may currently be the worst, most dysfunctional organization of the last year, but they are far, far from being historically as bad as the Angels.

I’m totally fine for that this year. I want a high pick and to see coop improve. Every loss feels like a win to me.

And Kon is the new Curry.

Their battles will be legendary.

I pledge allegiance to the Flagg 🫡

We also don’t need to say WB any more. 

Lakers don’t deserve Luka. Pretty sure one of the NBAs biggest markets would crater if not for this.

No way you’re not a bot.

Well Luka is a top 5 player in the world, so do you think Flagg is going to be top 5 soon? I doubt it. Luka was MVP caliber at age 20, made 5 straight All-NBA First Teams, and led his team to the Finals in that span.

Yeah hornets wouldve been perfect for him

No it didnt. Just dumb luck and incompetence.

Stop being dumb

He’s just getting more shots on good efficiency. He’s the reason we are even close in games.I would much rather he be shooting that Martin putting up 15 shots

I know ROTY would be the biggest achievement for the Hornets in 20-25 years but this is brain dead take lol. Flagg is the only reason the team is staying competitive in any of these games.

The salt is unreal from Hornets fans in every Cooper post.

It’s ROTY lmao, who gives a shit? Does anyone really talk about Wemby winning ROTY anymore? Does anyone care?

Were the Hornets involved in this conspiracy when they let him score 49 points on ²¹⁄₂₉ FG?

Crazy. It’s like they’re trying to get the rookies more playing time, while getting the highest possible draft odds.

I think people call it … tanking? You have Hornets flair, you should know.
