MAVS NEWS:

[F Gump]

 If Nico got the #1 pick Flagg would be playing for the Suns.

I'm with you 99% of the time, but this is absurd and utter BS. Good grief.

If the Mavs miraculously got the #1 pick, they are grabbing Flagg, keeping him, and then figuring out how to navigate the rest of the roster. He's the sort of player you alter your plans for.

It would be an interesting exercise, frankly, so see what came next. Considering where this franchise has fallen, Flagg's probably a billion dollar difference to their future prospects as a franchise over the next decade. And I'm firing Nico and hiring a different decision-maker to mastermind the path as my first move.
