Sources: Mavericks plan to draft Cooper Flagg, won't trade No. 1 pick

The owners need Cooper Flagg.... maybe even more than the team does. Flagg fills the stadium, put murals on downtown walls, and rings up jerseys at the cash register. No savvy owner trades this away... even if it was a trade for KD or Giannis.

And they likely won't have any of the concerns about conditioning or defense. CF really is the perfect cover for the GMs incompetence. 

But even though the Ademan's can hide, Nico probably can't. His exit though is likely delayed. I'm guessing fans will have to put the rope away for at least another year.
