Cooper Flagg is a rare possibility of the American Professional League, which will be greatly suitable for any team. Flagg has proven that it can excel in a high -use role, at the level of the attack during his season in Duke, but he does not do that Need The ball to make an effect. Maine was built as a reputation as a talent for generations For everything he does away from the ball, with enormous instincts as an auxiliary and sixth guns to force them to shifts, associated with cutting, spacing and smart football as a supplementary offensive player when he does not act as a major engine for his team.
However, some organizations were better prepared to build around Flagg from their last entry to 2025 The American Professional League draft Lottery. an idea Dallas Maverx The winning of the number 11 was 1.8 percent away from the entertainment. Now it is a reality.
The shocking coex He is Send the American Professional League to the rotation tail. Dallas was laughing in the American Professional League yet The terrible Luka Densic tradeAnd, causing rebellion within the fans base while leading the CEO Niko Harrison has become the largest line in sports. MAVS is now prepared with a better future face for concession more than Doncic, but Flagg’s arrival also brings many difficult questions.
The “victory” difference in selection number 1 is usually built with the future in mind. Instead, Dallas are already today. They exchanged most of their future drafts that the construction concludes around Densic, and after Harrison decided to circulate, Dallas are now in two old elderly warriors in Kerry Erfing and Anthony Davis. Erfing tore the AFC Champions League shortly after Densic’s trade, and you will be possible to miss you next season.
Harrison mocked his reputation for the Doncic-Davis swap, saying, “He will tell time if you are right.” Instead, the lottery results came out before the league got a chance to find out. We have seen a lot of teams faltering in the talent of generations in the first place in the draft before. Below is a road map for how MAVS behaves after it comes out to Flagg.
Nico Harrison fire
It is not necessarily a bad thing that Niko Harrison has the big ego. He may not have risen to his position on power in Nike or with MAVS without fully believing in his major vision. After winning the lottery for Flagg, though, Harrison threatens to reduce the best long -term interests of his new franchise star.
MAVS should have fired Harrison before making Duncic to exchange Davis. It should have been launched again at the end of the season, given the catastrophic results of the Dallas Taking Trade The American Professional League finals To the lottery. Somehow, everything has succeeded for MAVS fans, but the only way to build about Flagg is to start launching Harrison.
Harrison’s heels is a very dug to make unbiased decisions. This is now the Flagg concession, and his teammates in Davis and Irfing are not suitable for his schedule. Harrison said that he traded Densic because he believed that she had increased the championship of the MAVS championship for this season. It is clear that this completely exploded in the face. At this stage, Dallas needs to get rid of her defective present and give priority to her future. Harrison is very biased so that it cannot be trusted to do so.
Anthony Davis trade
The best step from MAVS was Anthony Davis trading from the moment Irfing was injured with an injury. Irfing will be 34 years old in March, and it is likely to remain prepared until then as it rehabilitates the torn ACL. Davis is not the spring chicken either at the age of 32, and it deserves to spend the end of his main game for the competitor. Dallas, even with Flagg, you will not seriously compete for anything next season with Kyrie.
Davis has two other seasons under a contract, in addition to a player’s option for $ 62.7 million in 2027-28. It is difficult to say how the market will look for a star of an atmosphere of its age, but hey, we have seen Davis being traded in Luka Frekin Densic, so it may not be doubtful to its value about the league. Exit from Davis to future assets would give MAVS more ammunition to build a great team when Flagg is in its prime. This will not happen for years for a 19 -year -old player until December.
The idea of trading in favor of Davis was bold at the time. It was a failure once Irfing was injured, and he will not have a better business again than he is doing now.
Start rebuilding the asset base for a long time
MAVS does not control the selection of the first round draft of 2027-2030. Dallas was sent for the year 2027 to Charlotte for PJ Washington, and he has thunder rights in choosing 2028, and the choice of 2029 will be switched with Houston or Brooklyn, and 2030 City of Antonio or Minnesota. Dallas has a reward Lakes In 2029, he chose the Luka trade, but this is not enough to build about a player like Flagg.
In the trading of potential ads, it is clear that Dallas should look for choices and young players. MAVS takes advantage of taking the footage in the future because Flagg is very young, and they can always circulate those players with the development of Flagg.
The last time that MAVS fell the talent of generations in Doncic, they rushed to trading KristAps Porzingis choices to give Luka an opportunity to win early in his term. Harrison did a great job in drilling his way out of this deal, starting from the Irfing trade, Dereck Lively II, and the signing of the free agent such as Derrick Jones JR. , And the subsequent deals of Washington and Daniel Jaford.
Dallas do not need to make things difficult this time. They should try to get the largest possible number of shots in Apple, partly because it is possible to finally deal with these future choices to get a co -star that fits his timeline.
MAVS should give Flagg priorities and vitality in the front court. They should seek to take leaflets on major guards from their youth who are enemy and who may deduct other teams on their defensive restrictions (Flagg and Lively can deal with defense). Players such as GafFord and Washington must also be turned on the assets, and IRVING is also logical as soon as it proves to be in good health.
Flagg grew up Boston Celkus a fan. Dallas was spoiled with the loyalty of Dirk Nidzki, and it seems that Densic certainly wanted to spend his entire career there as well. It should not be bet on that happens again with Flagg. If MAVS is not able to build a winner around him, it appears that he is likely to find another team either in trade or in a free agency. The disasters scenario of signing with CelTics at the beginning of his prime should be frightened to give priority to its future instead of the Harrison.
MAVS did a short -sighted trade by dealing with Doncic. They cannot make the same errors with Flagg, and this starts with Nico and the building of Plagg’s Prime at the expense of everything that the current MAVS essence deserves.
