NBA Draft lottery tonight for Cooper Flagg
My guess what NBA will do for Flagg:
Either Chicago, Philadelphia or Brooklyn will get him, they want him in a big market

This is right around the point of every playoff series that he gets hurt. No different this season:

I'm pushing for DC - which is also a big market. They've had it rough lately, but have been following the Orlando Magic design of complete tear down and build back up from the bottom. They've actually drafted fairly well in the last couple of years (for what was available) and they could really use a big name to help bring them into the next generation.

I'd love to see Flagg in Washington. It's good for the NBA IMO when Washington is also relevant.

Washington is an inept organization. I hope Flagg is not doomed to go there.

[Goldstar88]

He?s going to Utah.

He?s going to Utah.

Oh yeah, Utah would be a nice spot too

Reports come out saying Giannis is considering requesting a trade from Milwaukee.

If that?s the case, he?s got to be going to Houston, right?

My guess is the trade ends up being something like?

HOU gets: Giannis
MIL gets: Alperen Sengun, Reed Sheppard, Tari Eason, 9th overall pick, 2027 BKN Swap pick.

HOU will have a team built around Giannis and Thompson, so it makes sense they would want to keep guys like Smith Jr. and Green who can spread the floor.

Milwaukee gets an All Star in Sengun, two guys who are projected to be starting caliber players in Sheppard and Eason, and two (most likely) Top 10 picks.

I think Houston or San Antonio. A dark horse could be Detroit.

?I will be good for Tuesday. You know me. I will see you Tuesday,? Mitchell told cleveland.com

Mitchell seems to have suffered the injury in the most unsuspecting of ways. It appeared to have come while he was warming up during halftime and suddenly went down while holding his ankle. Either that, or the star was testing if he could go after sustaining an injury earlier and realize he couldn?t.

[Who]

Last night, Draymond Green finished with more turnovers than field goals made for the 43rd time in his playoff career. Nobody has done that more times than him. He?s tied at No. 1 with Kendrick Perkins.

Randle, who finished with 24 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, became just the second player in Minnesota playoff history to record a triple-double, joining Kevin Garnett.

By following up his 24-point, 11-assist performance in Game 2 with a similar output on Saturday, Randle also became the first player in franchise history with multiple 20-point, 10-assist games in a single postseason, according to ESPN Research.

Those are some interesting destinations. If he wants to win and all about the weather and the bright lights, he'll want to force his way to Hollywood (probably Lakers as they already have Luka and also it's cuz the Lakers), the Heat, or maybe get more into the city life like New York (either Nets or Knicks) or a mid-market team like Chicago.

Dan Gilbert rallying his troops, saying they've come back up from 3-1 before and could do it again. Will he be right this time

Actually I forgot. Giannis loves NY and the Brooklyn area, and BKN covets him too. They have a TON of cap space + picks as well to potentially try and build another superteam similar to Kyrie-Harden-Durant lol. They also could have a Top-5 draft pick after tonight. If they don't get #1 (Flagg), I would trade that in a package for Giannis.
