2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

flagg's a superstar. love his game. only a crazy franchise would trade someone like tha...

anyway, why suggs? big two-way ballhandling guard. he's shot 40% from three for a full season, and i think he can get back to that playing off reaves and luka and lebron. elite POA defender that can take whatever the toughest assignment is on the other side. even if he doesn't recover his shot, then you basically have two marcus smarts on the roster. i think of him as similar to jrue holiday (could argue he's maybe a little better at the same age). only concern is injuries (holiday also had this issue at the same age, interestingly).

does he help against okc? i mean, not without luka. but with him, now you've got two bulldogs to throw at sga (and jwill if he's available) instead of one.

 

Maybe..he's just been terrible from the field in both of his playoffs appearances.

 

yeah, it's a risk. i consider it a buy-low opportunity for a player at a level that you can't easily acquire otherwise.

compare the beginning of his career to derrick white's (keep in mind he's basically the same age white was as a rookie, too).
