And one of those teams should get him if no silver
If Lamelo can't get a team to the playoffs, I don't think Copper Flag can.
A PF as a 1 to lead to the playoffs.
Kyrie 2 years from now, nope non effective. No suitable GM, realistically they can't make a Trade cause Teams don't know who to call.
The Management won't get it done.
Season at the halfway point. The only Mavs problem is health and impatient fans. No one saw Indiana doing what they done with a great point guard. Stop all this trade BS until Kyrie, AD and Cooper on the floor.
Why not trade Russell?…continues to be DNP….[even vs Utah].Kidd obviously hates him.
Pledge allegiance to the Flagg. He is the only thing thats keeping me watching nba this season.
If the answer is more than a version of “Cooper Flagg is young”, I’ll be shocked.
Like a team with no picks for years and poised to be in the second apron with no tradeable contracts… like yeah, we got Coop, and that’s already better than most bottom dwelling teams, but I see no reason to be excited about being able to put a competitive team around him unless we get Michael Jordan II in this year’s draft.
I’m afraid we’re probably going to need to trade Kai, Klay, Naji, PJ and every other player I like for pennies on the dollar just to avoid the aprons.
I will watch this in the morning. But yeah. Other than Coop… everything sucks right now.
Say Dallas still gains some spots draft wise at the lottery and they get 5. Who is the best of the rest?
Would you trade cooper flagg for luka doncic?
Man ain’t nobody listening to you the negative podcast
You have the best teenager who's ever played in the NBA. Quit whining.
What about a new training staff and a new nutritionist? I think we need to look into that because the injuries and illnesses have been bad for the past two years.
