2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[OBX Maverick]

absolutely amazing.  I thought there would have been a 100% chance mavs would get the #1 pick if Stern was still the lead of the NBA.  I didn't know Silver had it in him.  Ha.  Seriously, we deserve this...if you are still going to be a Mavs fan.

Sure this team should be good in the short term, but they have the start of a real nice young nucleus in Flagg and Lively.  So even when AD and Kyrie get old or injured, there is something to look forward too.

Suddenly the team who owned swaps and future picks are bummed again. 

I think you move PJ.  Good player.  He has one more year left and he won't want to be a bench player.  See what you could get for him.  Can you get a good big guard? 

I didn't watch much Duke this year, but I did watch highlights.  Flagg is such a smart player.  Just plays the right way.    He is really a good play maker with their bigs too.  Finally our bigs may get some more opportunities.

Happy for Mavs fans.

I wonder if we could get a back half of the lotto pick for PJ, perhaps draft a guard? Maybe the kid from Illinois if he’ still around.
