The Mavericks are making a mess of the next general manager

It’s going to be tough for the next person to serve as the Mavericks’ GM. Dallas is a struggling franchise with a losing record. The distrust of the fans towards the organization is also obvious, after the trade of Luka Dončić last season.

Harrison was the architect of that craftwho sent Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers. Doncic continued to put up incredible numbers for Los Angeles while Dallas struggled with big man Anthony Davis. This led to a furor against Harrison.

The Mavericks have a new star in rookie Cooper Flagg. Flagg was selected first overall in the 2025 NBA draft. He played for Duke in the 2024-25 season, leading the Blue Devils to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.

Dallas’ star rookie thinks so the club keeps getting better.

“We all feel good about the day as a whole and that’s something that’s going to be huge for us,” Flagg said after the Bucks loss, per the team. “Tonight, for a lot of us, we felt more comfortable, more organized. I didn’t feel forced tonight. As a team, we did a better job of organizing and getting where we wanted to go.”

The Mavericks play the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.
