Absolutely.
But the twists you throw in there (actually ascending to #1 due to a Trae injury or no longer being #2 due to his own injury) don’t come into play. The heart and essence of the bet: Coop beats out Lou and Delon as Trae’s primary backup BY (or before) the break. On merit, not by Lou and Delon both going down to injury and landing it by default. Coop then losing primary backup status, by injury, after achieving it won’t negate the fact that he achieved it by being better than them.
My entire point from the start is that Coop is better than Lou and Delon, thus will leapfrog them as Trae’s primary backup. And this will happen no later than Wednesday February 16th
