I really hate the Mavs got Flagg. It makes me want to root for him being not as good as advertised so things go sideways for the Mavericks and mostly Niko. The absolute franchise mismanagement did by Niko and the new owners did not deserve to be rewarded with a player like Cooper.

"The Dallas Mavericks have acquired Luka Doncic from the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and the #1 overall pick."

Hell yeah! worked with cooper’s uncle for a number of years, great guy. whole family loves basketball. surreal i’m seeing video of a school 20mins from here. it’d be a hell of a story if a kid from maine was going 50, let alone 1!!!

He's going to an organization that called their last generational franchise player "fat and lazy" and traded him like he was a scrub at the strike of midnight.

lol yeah...

At least the kid wore Mavs navy blue. His suit looks sharp.

Malika Andrews is such cringe.

Taylor Rooks should have taken over this. Both in terms of personality and looks.

The overuse of "generational" is kind of annoying. I've heard at least 5-7 guys in the league right now described as generational. You can't have two dozen "generational" talents in a span of only a few decades lol.


Wemby is a generational talent.
Someone who looks like he will change the game forever and just about impossible to contain.

Speaking of Spurs I fully expect them to trade pick 14

Bill Simmons is a goober but at least he's entertaining. I miss having some actual personality on these shows.
