@AndrewDBailey The NBA should go back and review any flopping after each game.
Any blatant flopping discovered will result in a fine of 0.25% of annual salary.
Any blatant. flopping discovered in game results in 2 free throws and side out possession for the other team.

One of the biggest problems with the best team in the NBA so thoroughly embracing flopping is that just about everyone else eventually decides they have to try it to have a chance.
Huge Giannis fan here, but he's just too old and would not pair well with JJJ.
JJJ is a DPOY who can score from any spot on the floor and he's yet to hit his prime.
@MT_Lazarus The most important thing here is every player is a willing passer. Only one player here can't dribble and you're about to see how good Keyonte really is.
That and an unleashed Will Hardy offenses
@Tjonesonthenba They have three guys in their starting lineup capable of scoring 25+ every night.
Three 7 footers in their starting lineup
An elite defending 4 next to a solid drop big 5
Just the tip of the iceberg.
One element on the "trade up for AJ" conversation I haven't seen mentioned...
The NBA is increasingly moving away from being a best-player-wins sport. It's no longer clear that you should sacrifice depth to get an All-NBA guy let alone given the uncertainty of the draft.
Studying AJ, Cam and Darryn, it's clear Darryn has the most complete game on both sides of the ball.
You just have to decide if his body will hold up, and he's got the dawg in him to lead a team to a ring.
For anyone who's forgotten Ace Bailey is a 6'9 guard who's an elite athlete, Rim finisher, and shooter.
He's a willing passer and active defender.
His ceiling is hall of Fame.

Danny and Austin will find out the true answers to these potential red flags.
They could all be the media blowing things out of proportion and reporting falsehoods just like they did with Ace last year.
Peterson has an elite jump shot and looks to be a true 3 level scorer.
My red flags are these:
Seems to want ball in his hand as much as possible and doesn't appear to be a willing passer.
Has had a miriad of injuries already.
Seems very introverted- is he a leader?
As a forever Donovan Mitchell fan, it's gut wrenching that his entire career he's been paired with a backcourt mate that doesn't fit his game at all. Donovan is a point guard. End of story.
