2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[Smitty]

Not to be a jinx, but is there any worry that Flagg could drop out of the draft?

I've seem some comments about how he could still have a big payday from NIL if he stayed another year at Duke, so the financial blow would be softened. Also about how they would be a title contender again and he would have another year of hanging with guys in his age group. In my mind, I just put it down to haters dragging DAL because of the Luka+Lottery thing, but still.

Maybe I'm just being a worry wart in my old age....

No chance. Nico would probably love that though, giving him the okay to select Harper, who he probably thinks fits better with this "2-year window" roster he built.
