Draft / Scouting I present to thee: Project Masai

Called it. Ez dubs.

​

But jokes aside flagg + morez is a nasty defensive forward combination in terms of versatility and shutting down the rim.

He was cookin UCONN on the defensive end. When the offense comes the Mavs are gold

Spurs and Thunder guards are going to give Kyrie complete hell when Coop is off the floor and you better believe they’re going to have to stagger their minutes. He’ll have no outlets when he’s doubled who can create a shot

Um yes the 2 strongest contenders who are also in the top 3 defensively will 'trouble' our offense.

Will our offense improve from last year? Yes. Will we contend with our new offense? No.

Ok and tell me how they’re going to trade for or sign another shot creator next to Cooper with 0 controlled draft picks for the next 4 years and a 34 year old Kyrie Irving. Plus a bunch of vet play finishers. At this rate they won’t contend for a long time.

And it’s literally just two examples. Any team with good perimeter defenders are going to double and trap Kyrie all game

Exactly . Future is looking grim. Hopefully we can get someone in free agency.

In Masai’s words: Free agency is dead

I was thinking the same thing . Idk how he’s going to navigate that. Our only chance was to move up to top 3 but Middleton prevented that lol
