They think he's a Nico kind of guy and Nico tends to pay up for guys he likes. In other words, they were laying the groundwork for a deal we might not like. The reporting this week that Boston thinks they can get 'positive value' for Jrue may have been referring to a Dallas deal (or at least positioning it that way with Nico). They see Sexton et al as a fallback position if they don't get Jrue, but said Nico tends to be hard to move off of guys he really likes.
Unquestionably Kidd was impressed with Flagg, shifted the timeline in his head and told Nico we can win next year, just get me Holiday. Now Nico will give up Washington, Gafford and the Mavs 2026 1st. Oh and the mandatory 2nd round pick. The only people that get it worse from the Adelsons than Mavs fans are the people of Palestine and Iran.
