Cooper Flagg's Star Leap, the 'New' OKC Thunder and Rockets & Pistons As Contenders | Good Take

Cooper Flagg just DESTROYED the Oklahoma City Thunder. Are we watching the NBA's next superstar emerge? After putting up 26 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in a blowout win, Flagg has the Dallas Mavericks looking even more dangerous than expected. Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer of Basketball Poetry react to Flagg's breakout, AJ Dybantsa's debut, the Miami Heat's first win and the latest Warriors-Timberwolves matchup.

Then it's time for GOOD TAKES! Mike makes the case that the Houston Rockets should now be considered favorites in the Western Conference. Has Oklahoma City's injury crisis opened the door for Kevin Durant and Houston? Wes argues that the Detroit Pistons are proving something important about team-building: Sometimes the best offseason move is simply getting better with the players you already have.

Plus, Portland's surprising roster-building strategy. Did the Trail Blazers discover a smarter way to build a contender by prioritizing value over star power?
