Cooper Flagg or Giannis? KG & Pierce on Mavs’ Big Decision
Dallas Mavericks win the draft lottery. They get the number one pick. Cooper flag. Do they trade it? Like what do you And what did you just think when you saw the Mavs got the number one pick? [ __ ] I saw Nico stick up both fingers to the world. I won’t. That’s crazy. 1.8% chance. Hey man. Hey. Do we get a pass, man? Do we get a pass? It all man. Do we get a man? Get in. No, it all man. I hit. He did. He hit. He hit. But y But what do you do? What you going to do with this number one pick, man? What do y’all want from me? I I got rid of one great white hope. I got another. What? So, as you keeping the pig, it’s it’s the flag, Lord. First to the flag. But I’m saying what now? This is crucial. First to the flag. Captain the flag. Is you picking Cooper flag right now, man? Is you keeping that? Listen to what you saying. I I know, but I’m gonna give you my thoughts on this. We’re trading them for Greek. Spurs got the number two pick, too. So, it’s worth bringing up that as well is like, do either of these teams deal the one or two pick? I go for Greek now, dog. I’m sorry. I love I Listen, first off, this was bogus as [ __ ] The the bad teams in the league need the players that coming out of college or coming out of high school or whatever. Those are the teams that need the the the draft when when bro and Dallas got the draft, bro. I I bro, they I I I didn’t even I don’t even I’m like everybody else who scrambled, right? But it was just it just they got to fix that, bro. Even the Spurs are second, bro. They got Bro, the the Hornets need help. Uh uh Washington, they need they need players. I’m just being honest. Cooper Flag in Washington Cooper Flag in and in and some other places. That ain’t getting the ratings though, man. [ __ ] that. Those those franchises need that talent. That’s what I’m saying. You can’t They going to have to move, bro. They going to have to move this, bro. You got You got You got Listen, Dallas got now, the middle, and later. They’re built for the now, the middle, and the late like like you don’t ever get it right. You got an opportunity to trade flag for Greek Freak. You doing it? I mean, yep. And risk the fan base over here, man. I don’t give a [ __ ] Like, what the fan? You lose. Like, Nico, you did it again. Okay, cool. It’s cool. Wait till y’all see the Greek. Don’t worry about it. Wait till the Greek get here. What if that don’t work out? You got to go for it. It ain’t no 100% that the flag going to work out. Yeah, but at least you you secured the future now. You just said it didn’t work out. But what if it don’t work out with the Greek or something? What if it don’t work out with the flag? It’s both scenario. At least you got a future. I hear what you’re saying, P. You act like I’m gonna say something different. Yeah, but I’m just saying I’m just putting it out there for you. I hear you because you traded our our other picture. I did. I’m We trying to win now. I got the guns and the beam on me now. I got to win now. So now it’s now. So he made the trade cuz he is in a win now mode. Oh yeah. So that’s a win now. What if Cooper Flag come in here and don’t pan out? Oh, you got a chance to get Young Giannis. You didn’t take it. What the [ __ ] Yeah. You hear what I’m saying? It’s both. It’s Bro, it’s damn if you do, damn if you don’t. But you got the flag, bro. The the the name of the game is capture the flag now. I think you entertain the best offers, bro. Right. You going to have Kyrie Anthony Davis, two real bigs with Lively and Gaffford, bro. Come on, bro. You got Freddy Washington, man. You got a horse of dogs over there, man. [ __ ] Clay, I’m giving up. I’m giving you Flag to Giannis. Yeah, money’s got to go out. So, money’s definitely got to go. Like 50 million’s got to go out of the maths for them to make that trade for you. You have to give up some dogs. You got to you got to either sign you got to give up either Gaffford or Lively. Yeah. But still like that’s not enough money. Like you would almost need You got to resign Gaffford then in the signing trade. Yeah. Cuz he’s up for an extension. So you got to resign him in the signing trade and give him the number one pick. And then who else over there that I can just go ahead shoe in? Taking up Gaffford. They probably going to want Greek and somebody else. If I give you the number one pick for Greek and No, that’s not even money though. Greek damn near sign and then uh I got to see what’s payroll looking like. Uh who who else got big contracts? I don’t even know they wing men. The big contracts on the team are Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving. Like those are the two big ones. And then there’s a lot of guys that are, you know, 16 18 million around there. So you have to train a few of those. You got to resign Gaffford. He’s going to command like 20 million. Uh, and Giannis is making 55 million next year, too. Yeah. So, you got to get Gaffford his deal, sign to trade him, throw in some other pieces, and you got to make it work. What about with the Spurs, though? They got the number two pick. Uh, they they got some tradeable contracts and a lot of first round picks to be able to trade for the future. Who you like uh Giannis, Hold on, before you answer that, who you like Giannis at better? You like him in uh Dallas or San Antonio better? What’s What’s a better opportunity to you for Giannis in your in your opinion? I think Dallas is more ready to win now than San Antonio. I think they gonna take a few years. Uh because I don’t know they guards is young. Whereas you got Kyrie over there and you got Anthony. They both the one in the league. So they coming off ACL. Yeah. You’re you’re you’re expecting Kyrie to look like I don’t need Kyrie to be the number two now coming off ACL. Okay. So who’s your number two? Anthony Davis if I get No, he’s in one. No, he No, he’s gonna be the two behind Giannis. If you get Giannis is what I’m saying. That’s what you’re saying. What you saying? I’m saying if they trade for Giannis, Giannis will be the number one option in be number two and Kyrie off of ACL can be my number two. Say the same thing. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? Y understand. So you’re saying with the trade with the trade in Dallas? Yeah. I think he’d be better suited to win now. And Giannis with PJ Washington and the dogs they got down there, dog. I would love that. He fits that pedigree too, bro. And Dallas is totally different from goddamn Milwaukee. That energy going to be they’ll be ready to win now. Yeah, they’ll be Listen, I would have them win in the West, Pete. I would have Dallas winning in the West. Yeah. I don’t I don’t know. It’s No, it’s The West is a dog fight. I don’t know if I have them winning the West. They’re going to be in a mix because everybody gonna get better. Look at look at Minnesota. Minnesota like what if you get Katie? What if KD go to Houston? Well, all that movement. I’m just talking about be a lot of it’s going to be a few stars move. Move. And Giannis is going to kick off the avalanche of stars relocating getting fresh air. What’s going to happen with Embiid? You know. Yeah, we ain’t heard nothing from that, right? Is they going to trade him and get this draft pick built around the draft pick and and Maxi? Are they gonna or or are they gonna use the draft pick to get better? There’s so many questions that we got. This is going to be one of the best playoffs and off seasonasons. You think so? Yeah, because we gonna have a lot of adjustments. We should do a certified show that keeps up with that bi-weekly. You know what I’m saying? Just keeping up with news, breaking news. Just while the summer, there’s still no games, right? We know that little period that we have right before I think right when the finals done and then we got summer league. It’ll be a bunch of transactional stuff like that. We should be some dope stuff. draft night should be very interesting in terms that not even that but the conversations now that’s going on the conversations that’s going on pre uh um summer league and listen to all you young boys who playing in summer league play in summer league bro people coming to watch y’all play not one two [ __ ] games and all you [ __ ] who in the league two three years y’all need to be in summer league sitting in front row like y’all [ __ ] all star they over here like no G we ain’t feeling that I know you ain’t feeling that but I’m telling you what’s real games and get our workouts in. Yeah. All right. You going to really see what the league like, young fella. Yeah. You better listen to Nah, Uncle, we ain’t feeling that. I know you’re not. We going to play about two games. Yeah. Your ass going to be out of here about 30 minutes, too. Why? Nah, nobody do that no more. I get you.

If the Mavericks traded the Flagg pick for Giannis…I think the aftermath would be on national news for a while. There’s no way
I’m trading the pick for Greek, AD,Kylie,Klay then plus the bench with Gafford to back him up. Rebounds wins games if you been watch this year’s playoffs
They sleeping on fox
KG doesn't understand common sense
Mavs should keep flaag …mavs need to trade gafford for dalton kneck and lakers 2nd pick this draft
If it’s 1 to 1 give me the Greek easy
Dallas won't trade for Giannis because that means AD goes back to the 5 and he doesnt want to do that. That was part of the point of getting AD. To play the 4
Mavs can win this year with Cooper. No need to trade for 30 something Greek.
trade AD to the spurs get picks 2 and 14 resign pj, gafford and trade that to the bucks for Giannis and you still keep the 1st pick. but id keep the picks if I were the Mav;s and have Flagg and Harper
Getting the Greek kills our depth. We’d have to give up so much depth just to match the money for him.
A trade wouldnt make sense for dallas. Dallas' core has health issues so having depth would be the smart choice
Keep Flagg. He has proven to be worth the hype. You have a new superstar to build around for 13 yrs.
Flagg may never be Giannis, very possible, but he’s 18, I’m keeping Flagg
U trade that pick. For one u got aging vets,&the championship window is closing
Long term, flagg. Don't have to pay him a max for 4 years
OMG! You would think these two would know, after playing in Brooklyn together, that trading all of your depth for aging superstars is a disaster! You keep Cooper Flagg! Is he Greek-Freak? No. He gives you a talented young player now and some flexibility to trade for some pieces… you get a big 3 with those salaries it is the Suns all over again!
You don’t trade him. Cooper can shoot
I kinda wanna see KG on the next season of The Next Chapter 👀
Why people talking about Flagg like he a guarantee. Giannis coming off 30/12/7 for the umteen yr in a row. It’s not really a debate
FACTS!!! YALL NEED NBA TRANSACTION POD CAST!!!! OMFG FINALLY!!!!
Mavs fans are too casual to understand that KG. The Great White Hope is more important than winning.
Im keeping that pick regardless
Bring Kyrie to back East send Dame back to the west.
Lifelong mavs fan, love gianis, but we need 15 year window more than a 3-4 year window.
Giannis is proven and on the same timeline as Kyrie and AD. Dallas wont do it, but i would make that trade in a heartbeat.
Keep Cooper Flagg. Giannis is played out, there’s a reason he’s being traded.
Keep Flag MAVS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Kyrie won’t be ready.
Flagg and AD need to be the core for the Mavs, hopefully keep Klay, Lively for a couple of years. We need a vet PG while Kyrie is out… CP3, Patty mills, Jrue . Maybe even Max Christie can develop into a PG
AD bout to be traded again?
I love these two IDIOTIC WANGSTAS😂😂😂
Dallas will not trade the first pick in the draft ,period !" Cooper Flag is more James Worthy than Larry Bird !" But he will be a perennial all-star talent !" The only thing Cooper has with Larry Bird is complexion !" He is a much better leaper , he also has an all around game ,but he reminds me more of James Worthy than Larry Bird .
Nico's a coward who likes to act big from time to time, but he's going to stick with Flagg and Mavs fans will be happy and also still hate Nico for the Luka deal.
Flagg I like more even though Giannis is better and a future Hall of Famer. Flagg has potential to be a future Hall of Famer to and fits better with AD and Kyrie. Plus would learn a lot. Giannis style fits better with Spurs or Knicks
They need to go back to the coin flip of the worst teams of the conference, …Mavs getting the pick is insane.
Yall be great players and then show on your own shows, yall would be horrible GMs. Giannis coming to Dallas would be dumb AF. You keep Cooper to make sure your team is even with size, skillset, how they would play well together. There isn't a team that would fuck with Dallas' line up.
Kyrie
Klay
Cooper
AD
D-Live or Gaff.
Yall don't be thinking about how a team should make sense. Just getting the best player isn't always smart.
Anybody who would trade Cooper Flagg is a fool. Don't trade him for nobody.
You don't trade a 18 year Phenom. Period.
forget about Embiid
100% chance when it is rigged
The chances that Flagg is ever as good as Greek is slim.
Greak freak and AD don't work together is the issue, if a 30 year old kd was available you make that trade all day everyday.
Kyrie ,klay ,Giannis would be nasty 🔥🔥🔥
Nobody in the east wants to possibly play against Shai, Jokic, Luka, or Ant to make the Finals…. Giannis wants to stay in the east.
