Cooper Flagg – ‘25/26 block reel
Dropping 50 bombs on the offensive side and punching shots on the other end, this is the beginning of a 2-Way Star in this league
BREAKING: An unidentified Dallas investor group is interested in partnering with Mark Cuban to buy the Mavericks back from Patrick Dumont, @TheSteinLine has learned.
A source close to Dumont told me “the family remains excited about the future of the franchise and the Cooper Flagg era.”
mavs were staring down a Cooper Flagg rookie contract full of hardly any picks, a new AD extension, & not much flexibility.
they took a big step in the other direction before this deadline & opened up a lot of flexibility to build around Cooper.
Thats a win for me.
All of the people saying how stupid the current Mavs FO is for this move don’t understand the cap implications.
Dallas had a lottery-team roster with championship-roster cap restraints. They shed a good deal of those restraints by dropping AD, and did so without having to add anything of value.
Yes, obviously trading Luka was the worst move ever, but you can’t undo that, and they were never going to recoup that value. They had to get rid of Davis.
Honestly thought they’d be sitting on this contract for a while and managed to dump it. Truly great work by an interim GM. Now you can build around Flagg with their current 2026 pick and in free agency.
The 24/25 Mavs really had the best roster in the NBA, designed to perfection for Luka Doncic. If Nico Harrison had not ruined everything, I wouldn’t have been surprised if this team ended up winning it all.
Probably one of the biggest what-ifs in NBA history
Dallas will always be special to Luka 🥹
Almost a year after the trade to LA, Luka surprised 22 fans who supported him on social media with a suite for Lakers–Mavs, a pregame meet & greet, and gift bags with Luka Lakers jerseys and his signature shoe.
Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis has sustained ligament damage in his left hand, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Depending on second opinion and if surgery is required, Davis could miss a number of months.
