Doncic Out, Flagg In: Where Do Mavs Go From Here?
No team has ever ridden the roller coaster of emotions the Dallas Mavericks rode this season. Just three months after making arguably the worst decision in modern NBA history, the Mavs were rewarded for their incompetence by cashing in 1.8% odds in the draft lottery.
Suddenly, Dallas is in position to bounce back from the loss of Luka Doncic with the addition of Cooper Flagg.

Nico trade 1st pick for Joel Embiid
Kyrie is also free agent
The Nico hate/disrespect is a bit much
U really think that was luck?
Its not rigged instantly hit the 👎
Rigged.
It's not rigged. You're all just whiners.
nico gonna trade the #1 pick for Ben Simmons and a 2nd round pick
I love how everybody is acting like Niko Harrison can't trade this pick for a superstar 😂😂
Trade AD sounds stupid smh 🤦🏿♂️ good thing your not a real gm 😂😂
Reeves for ad is even worse than luka for ad smh 🤦🏿♂️ 😂
The DAL.will.trade the #1 pick 🤣🤣🤣
Nico no longer has free rein to do whatever he wants. He doesn’t have the freedom to do anything that will piss everyone off anymore.
😢 its not fair they won't have shooting they won't have this or that bro tell me you did not see the mavs play without telling me . Who The fick is this geek 😂😂😂
This dude does not know basketball
I’m disappointed in The Score. What the idiot on screen failed to realize is this gives Dallas a DUAL timeline. They have a 2-3 year window with Ky & AD as the focal points and then they have Flagg to not only gain playoff and hopefully championship experience during that time but to carry their franchise the next 7-8 years afterwards. The AD for Reeves was just stupid. Very stupid. Lastly the world blames Nico for this trade but it’s OBVIOUS with the return they got for Luka, only contacting the Lakers and magically landing the number 1 pick… this was the NBA. Dallas did the NBA a favor to save ratings by sending Luka to LA for AD and the number one pick.
I would do the same. They must start to rebuild assets.
LMAO so basically what you're suggesting is Luka for AR, Christie, and 1 1st round. If Mavs wants to lose that bad, they should fire Nico and hire this guy. 😂🤣
RIGGED
Its so hypocritical to hear people say no team deserves this less because the front office fumbled the bag. As if Nico is somehow more important than the fans. Work on self awareness or stop making content. Tankers are deserving?
1:44 he had to trade Luka. What player not in shape trying to get the biggest contract of their life, but Luka he didn't care. When He #77 played for Dallas. He has such the big head Luka complaining to the referees so bad,, yelling at jason kidd to challenge almost every play. And just wouldn't get back on defense. Last year Boston torch him something shameful. He was the reason the lakers loss against timberwolves he was helpless on defense 85% of the timberwolves points came on him.They was hunting him and he was totally helpless. nico turned that trade into flag && AD. Now I call that a genius. If he stayed in Dallas he would never gonna get in shape. He was thinking he could do whatever he wanna do because the fans loved him so much. Lol but he got a reality check but once he proved Nico right this off season and get himself In shape he'll be better. I'm hoping that for him because I ❤ #77 💯. He'll go down as one of the best offensive players ever but it's hard to win with his defense
"No team deserved this less," GTFOH. Have you been paying attention to basketball? Did Washington and Charlotte become model franchises? How many Franchises have made more dumb decisions year after year? They destroyed multiple young prospects with terribly run development programs. But they deserve it more because they tanked for the billionth time?
ad for reeves?u must be a lakers fan
Mavs rebuild makes no sense, they have plenty of scoring around Flagg now and Kyrie comes back in January. They can move some other guys for additional flexibility but AD for Reaves is the dumbest thing I've ever heard lmao
These other Fanbases wanting to Fleece the Mavericks make me sivk
