So is the history of recovery times from ACL tears, especially those that happen iate in a season.Simply reporting what Shams Charania had to say about it. He is pretty reliable.

Disagree. Despite his tender age flagg enters the league pretty nba ready. And with established stars like AD and kyrie (depending upon his healthy return) Flagg doesn’t have to bear the burden of a typical #1 overall pick. He absolutely could be good enough as a rookie to be the third best player on a championship team AND give the Mavs their future.
It would be an ensemble type champion like the old pistons team. No superstar but good to very very good players across the entire team. If healthy that team is ridiculously deep.Neither Kyrie nor AD are #1’s on a title team and it’s a coinflip that both will be healthy.
The only Flagg trade that makes sense is for Giannis because he’s still a top-5 player. I could see him starting to decline within 2-3 years given his reliance on athleticism.
Yeah but all those guys were tough and durable OG’s with leadership. Kyrie and AD are superstars but they’re brittle and goofy.It would be an ensemble type champion like the old pistons team.

Agreed. Some people live in fantasy land. The only player that pick might get traded for is Giannis.dallas isn't trading the first pick for a 37 year old max contract that wants a 2 year extension when they're already paying kyrie and ad - why are we even talking about this
They’re also more talented than those tough leaders.Yeah but all those guys were tough and durable OG’s with leadership. Kyrie and AD are superstars but they’re brittle and goofy.
Even if Kyrie were healthy, I don't think they trade the pick, I don't think they even entertain the notion of trading it. Flagg is one of the most touted prospects in the last decade, probably 2nd only to Wemby. He was the best player in college as a freshman, he scrimmaged against Team USA before the Olympics and those guys raved about him. The dude looks like Luka with a work ethic.
Furthermore, there is no chance in hell they trade it for Durant. No one is giving up a #1 pick for a 37 year old, no matter how stupid the GM is.
less than a 0% chance of this happeningThey just gave up a generational talent for mr glass, so its still possible.
Maybe a 3 way, KD to mavs, Giannis to suns, Flagg to Bucks. Thats wishing.
Maybe the Celtics ship off Tatum for Flagg, Mavs owner PO fans more to enable move to LV.
Perhaps but I would have said there was zero chance that Dallas would make that Luka trade and look what happened. In the end, Flagg will likely be a Mav, same with AD and Kyrie but it wouldn't shock me to see them involved in another big trade.less than a 0% chance of this happening

yes - luka was traded to the lakers - it doesn't mean the mavs want kd - this whole "well the mavs are stupid enough" logic doesn't fly - it's not happeningPerhaps but I would have said there was zero chance that Dallas would make that Luka trade and look what happened.

I have no idea if the Mavs want KD, wasn't my point at all. I do not believe they'll trade the pick, AD or Kyrie. I just don't think anyone can say no way in hell, we've already seen how enticing hell can be. If, for whatever reason, they feel pressed to try and win one right away, a KD trade might make sense. GA would make even more sense but the cost of acquiring Giannis might be more than they can handle and still fill out the roster.yes - luka was traded to the lakers - it doesn't mean the mavs want kd - this whole "well the mavs are stupid enough" logic doesn't fly - it's not happening
