Cooper Flagg on Nico Harrison’s departure:
“From what I knew, he seemed like a great guy and we had a really solid relationship. At the end of the day I’m here to play basketball and whatever goes on above me, is above me.”

  4. 20 years from now people will be watching a Mavs history video on Secret Base and be like “Oh yeah!  He did draft Cooper Flagg!”

  7. The question will there ever be a trade as high profile, as badly thought out, and as infamous as this one in the future history of sports?

  8. “Nico was so nice to me! He always greeted me and asked what I had for breakfast every time I show up to work!”- Flagg

  9. Leave it to sports media to ask a rookie about the GM’s departure/shit show. Like wtf? What do they expect him to say?

  11. Incredible how the moves of 1 moron had repercussions on one of the best prospect in American recent history. Imagine if the Cavs in 2002 had someone like Vince or Kobe and they traded away for some injured bum ass… then they drafted Lebron, but his career would be definitely marked by this huge thing, at least marketing wise.

  16. “Well, he was nice to me” that’s called skinny privilege, Cooper. Do better.

  21. Safe PC answer

    He ain’t going to muddy the waters when he’s gonna be the star for the next 3 yrs after they trade AD/Ky and klay

  26. Could have just Paid Luka the max and played him with this guy…but noooo. Defense wins championships

  30. He was a month away from being shipped to the Clippers for Bradley Beal and two second-round picks.

  33. Nico may be a nice enough dude in person, but obviously his tenure as a GM was disastrous. If I were him, it’d be a blessing in disguise to not have to work for the fascist Adelson family anymore. Maybe he’ll get a job that suits him better (where he can’t trade away franchise players anymore haha).

  35. At my previous job I was hired because of dumb management mistakes that previously occurred, resulting in loss of “great” people. When I was asked by folks how I felt about it I’d always be so fucking confused as shit….**I’M HERE**. I am not sad at all about it. I’m gainfully employed!!!!

    Cooper was picked #1 by the Mavs. There’s a world where the Mavs could have went “WELL, we really like Ace Bailey….” as drafts are funky like that and common sense gets thrown out the window. We all know #2s that should have went #1, right???

    Cooper likely don’t have anything bad because there’s nothing bad to notate

  39. This is where the media is shitty. There’s no reason to ask him this aside from hoping he says something spicy to milk for engagement.
