"This why Warriors haven’t did a big Trade …..Flagg a future ball of fame Warrior," a fan wrote.

"he's gonna look so good next to Chet," one fan commented.

"It’s time for the Lakers to trade off everything for this #1 pick," another fan wrote.

"Utah would be hilarious, but we could use more talent in the East. So either Chicago or Toronto would be cool," another user wrote.
