Mavs Ownership FAILED, Now They Need to Learn From it | Cooper Flagg is the Present & Future

1. What's 1 lesson Mavs Ownership needs to learn from 2025?

2. I’m visualizing it.

   AD
   CHRISTIE
   FLAGG
   PETERSON
   #1 pick

   For

   Luka

   This would make it ok again.
   Now let’s turn AD into Risacher and cap space, that pick into getting back our 2027 #1 and Christie into a full time starter an a 10 yr contributor.
   And if Luka comes back in 2028 it will be the greatest trade in Mavs history.

3. Should not have given so much power to one person

4. This is what I'm saying to the people crying about "return on investment" and droning on and on about "Bull Market" bullshit. Nah, that all got fucked up when Nico traded Luka on the DL. You fucked up by allowing him to allow the Lakers to set that investment & he didn't even really TRY to get an Austin Reeves and more draft picks.

   So now you take the best deal you will get offered and you say "thank you" for saving you from cap hell, and ruining the rest of Cooper's rookie deal by being 2nd aproned by keeping AD around.

   Cause Cooper has proven….THE TIME IS NOW to build a team for HIM. Ya'll fell ass-backwards into a possible LeBron that actually plays defense & could possibly develop into an even better 3pt shooter than James. Don't waste this opportunity.

5. Trade AD for literally anything! Mavs fans don't want his lazy A here!

6. Having a true 5 means a great deal. From 2000-2010 the only true 5 we'd ever had was Dampier. Then Tyson comes in and changes the game. Leads to a Ship. I like Gafford and Lively, but c'mon. We need a legit 5

7. Cooper is already not looking as good as he was when AD was playing next to him

8. Coop needs to request a trade because he's doomed by the ownership 😂

9. This is Cooper Flagg and your listening to locked on losers letting it ride with Jason Kidd. Coaching is roughly 50% of teams successes and failures.

10. Mavs need to learn how to TANK

11. Learning how to keep a team together and not disassemble and try to restructure everything when things don’t seem to go there way. Stop panicking after every little thing and stay calm and cool and learn how to build through pressure instead of collapsing everything when something small arises

12. Luka was that toxic. There was no championship window. Jason Kidd, who keeps saying move on, disagrees. 3:39 😢s

13. Notice these clowns don't repeat the owner's quotes approving the trade. Simple. They (the Mavs organization) wanted out of the Luka business. Even Carlisle, who wanted to draft Haliburton, fired himself, went somewhere else and opened his own championship window. Oh, and Dallas is 2nd in attendence.

14. Hilarious, that they brought in Kyrie and paid him what they paid Luka, then when it came time to double what paid Luka, they opted out out for a plan that centered around Kyrie. They now have present and future bites at the apple.

15. AD lively.Gafford and injuries have destroyed the Mavs…Kyrie another example….not on the floor….in streetclothes

16. For the recap of 2025 you should do a clip show with your reactions to the Luka trade and draft lottery!

17. Not only did you not win the Finals you were embarrassed by the Celtics. Luka was exposed as a soft, lazy player who would never be worth a max contract. Nico did you a huge favor. Luka will ruin the Lakers for a decade. QUIT WHINING ABOUT IT.

18. Dont ever close the title window.. 2026 is year of the horse haha i still believe this will be our year. Im calling it.. 2026 NBA Champs is The Dallas Mavericks..and yep with no luka in it..

19. I can see Cooper Flags future in Las Vegas not in Dallas! Don't you Guys think? 🤔

20. Imagine if Mavs never won the 1st round pick?? This team would be screwed.

21. Free ad and kyrie, dallas fans and media are a shitshow

22. What a 2025 year, from NBA Finials to bottom feeders. But best part o season NO MO NUTCO NICO, No more Flagg playing point guard. Squares dont fit in circle holes. The AD & Irving year to win a ring in 2025 with Flagg & Liv. Simply failed. You cant cry injuries as every team in the NBA suffer their injuries. IMO we have 2 opitions. 1st roll with this group waiting & hoping Irving comes back 100% to where he was before injury. That's a big IF. AD simply got to get and stay on the court. If we can get on a roll maybe just maybe. 2nd. Go ahead and build around Flagg, trade AD, Martin, Klay, D'Angelo, check the water on Irving. Ryan and Williams can handle the point. Christie plus pick up a Defensive point of attack guard. Flagg & Marshall at small forward. PJ plus pickup 3D wing to cover the 4 spot. Gafford plus pickup a solid rim protector plus can shoot the 3 a little. Powell/ Cisso fits for low post back up. We should be able to pick up some solid younger players with the players we trade. 2 opitions we should know by end of February.

23. Ya'll need help big time help⌚

24. We might be losing right now, but some people like me are still happy. Of course people will say "we just got to the Finals" 😅 Ok cool, good for you guys 😂 I just need change bruh. I need proper basketball. The kind of basketball where the ball is actually moving. And Cooper understands the team concept. That you need everyone to help and you can't do everything on your own. And I'm happy that Cooper is playing like that. He plays defense too. 😤 So there's no lesson for me. I'm just ready to start with the new guy Coop! 🙂🔥
