I'm not so sure the idea of Flagg at the 2 is the way the Mavs really intend to go.
The Kidd podcast has gotten a lot of attention and other Mavs sites have repeated much of that "Flagg could start at the 2" stuff. It's all over the place now.
It's a harmless comment that doesn't do any damage. It tells other teams that the Mavs aren't desparate for a trade, it tells Gafford and PJ that we value them, and it tells Flagg that we love his skillset. But I would really be shocked if we started the season with that proposed lineup.
Like others, I do think keeping PJ and Gafford would be my preference, but I'm guessing that -barring injury- that AD, Flagg, and Lively will be in the frontcourt at the start of the season.
