Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors were already on the cusp of being one of the NBA's worst teams last year. Not much has changed this offseason, and expectations are relatively similar for Canada's team. Scottie Barnes is a solid piece to be excited about for the future, but the Raptors could use that elite cornerstone like Cooper Flagg projects to be one day.

Utah Jazz
The whispers around the NBA continue to revolve around the Utah Jazz coveting Cooper Flagg. They won't be alone in that thought process. Our intel suggests that the Jazz will do whatever it takes, including moving on from Lauri Markkanen. If the Jazz decide to go through with that, they'll receive a big haul in return and increase their odds of landing a potential young superstar in Flagg.
Detroit Pistons
It's almost kind of us to say that the Detroit Pistons were just bad last season. The Pistons finished with the NBA's worst record (14-68) but could not find any success in the lottery, which has primarily been a theme. The Pistons have an excellent young budding star in Cade Cunningham, and there are pieces around him to build a young core, but Cooper Flagg is the type of game-changing prospect that would make this rebuild pop for in the Motor City.
Brooklyn Nets
Although the Brooklyn Nets won 32 games last season and landed just inside the top ten, we're not expecting them to win nearly as many games this time. The pieces aren't on the Nets roster for this team to win games consistently, which should show throughout the season. The Nets are dying for a young star, and Cooper Flagg fits the bill.

Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards were downright awful last season, specifically in the back half of the campaign. As the Wizards continue trying to get younger, they'll be looking to ship out some veterans and continue this rebuild. On the road toward sustainable success, there's still a long way to go, and adding Cooper Flagg would undoubtedly accelerate that journey.
