Podcasts about Flagg

On this edition of The Will Cain Show's Friday sports episode, Will is joined by 'Sports Illustrated' Senior Writer and NBA Analyst, Chris Mannix to break down the evolving landscape of the NBA, the rise of parity, and whether the Oklahoma City Thunder are building a quiet dynasty. Will and Mannix also dive into the Mavericks' shocking lottery win and what Cooper Flagg's arrival could mean for Dallas's future. They debate the long-term ceiling of Flagg, whether he'd be worth trading for a proven star like Giannis Antetokounmpo, and how today's NBA front offices are starting to think in windows, not dynasties. They finish it all off with an expert level NBA trivia quiz that will have you questioning your knowledge of the Association. Can you do better than Will and Mannix?

In this episode we are thrilled to be joined by NBA salary cap expert analyst Yossi Gozlan, making his third appearance on our podcast.Today we focus on the Mavericks' salary cap situation going into this pivotal summer where they will draft Cooper Flagg #1 overall and pivot their team building around him. Yossi tells us that the Mavericks will enter this summer slightly over the 2nd apron of $207.8 million, and will probably be looking to shed some salary so they can get under that figure. They may even try to dump further money so that they can get under the 1st apron threshold of $195.9 million. In all likelihood, they will at least be over the luxury tax threshold of $187.8 million, limiting their player acquisition avenues to the taxpayer mid-level exception, and trades. In order to gain access to the full mid-level exception, the Mavericks would have to shed enough salary to get under that luxury tax threshold, which may be difficult to do with only one team (Brooklyn Nets) possessing cap space to potentially take on contracts in a salary dump. We then discuss with Yossi whether it makes sense for the Mavs to prioritize their future with Flagg by trading Anthony Davis while his value is still high. We are all in agreement that while that is the wise decision, we do not trust Mavs general manager Nico Harrison to do it. With that in mind, Yossi walks us through avenues the Mavs can move around players on their roster to address their biggest needs this summer, namely a point guard. Yossi also tells us that while the penalties of the NBA's “Apron era” can be harsh, there are still avenues for teams to avoid the worst effects of it, specifically frozen draft picks. Finally, with Yossi being a Los Angeles resident, we get his perspective on how the vibe in the city has changed since the Lakers traded for Luka Dončić. He talks about how Luka reminds a lot of Lakers fans of certain Laker legends such as Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson. While we all lament the deal, we try to look forward to the new era the Mavs will be entering with Cooper Flagg. You can follow Yossi on X/Twitter @YossiGozlan.

Welcome back wrongdoers. Cam and Antonio are back with another "Life's A Bench" podcast episode. Here we scratch the sports itch. Tap in as we talk NBA playoffs, draft & NFL schedule release.

En Bee AYE Playoffs!!! What a week it has been in the playoffs we got some things WRONG last week with Boston. The Knicks are legit! Round 2 is shaping up and we got to it. What pushed Indiana to become an elite team in this league? The Flagg has been captured in Dallas! All this and much more! Lock in!

Elly (Reds) has-115 extra base hits and stolen bases in his first 300 games (best since 1900); Can Judge win the Triple Crown?; Cards have won 9 in a row; Mavs get #1 pick (Flagg) with 1.8% chance; Knicks, TWolves, Hurricanes and Oilers go up 3-1; Derek Carr made $195MM in the NFL.

So you're saying there's a chance… What's crazier, the Pope being a White Sox fan or the Mavs winning the #1 pick in the NBA draft? Toss up! Unless Nico trades for Giannis, Cooper Flagg will become a Dallas Maverick. The lottery has spoken and the rigged system has rewarded the embattled GM with a generational talent. Deserving? Hell no. A worthy consolation prize for making the worst trade in NBA history? Sure. Meanwhile in the NBA Playoffs, the Thunder are in trouble, as they now head back to Oklahoma City for a Game 7 with the 2023 champion Denver Nuggets. And after a Jayson Tatum achilles exit, the Knicks too must win a Game 6 in the Garden to ensure they move on in the Eastern Conference. In the NHL, the Oilers and Canes move onto the Conference Finals. While the Leafs look to battle back against the defending champ Panthers. The Stars and Jets move onto a Game 6 in Dallas, as the Stars aim to punch their ticket to the next round. Will Derek Carr be the Steelers starting QB in week 1?

Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine have unearthed the data that shows Indiana is NOT to be messed with. The Big Number guys explain how the Pacers laid waste to the #1-seed Cleveland Cavaliers, and likely won't be stopped anytime soon. Plus the guys ask the question, would Nico Harrison ever, shockingly, consider trading the #1 overall pick? What caliber of superstar would need to be offered to the Mavs' GM for him to come off of Cooper Flagg?!? The guys think Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks may convince Nico to do the unthinkable (again)! Subscribe to the The Big Number on your favorite podcast app:

In this episode, we welcome back our old friend Rohan Bhatt to discuss the Mavericks winning the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery and the #1 overall pick, the first time they have ever done so. With this, they will have the right to select Cooper Flagg out of Duke University, widely regarded as one of the best prospects in recent history. We talk about the wild series of events that have transpired for the Mavericks, starting with the trade of Luka Dončić to the Lakers and culminating with the lifeline of all lifelines in the #1 overall pick in a good draft. This development has opened up a world of possibilities for the Mavericks that didn't exist for them 36 hours ago. We go over Flagg's scouting report and break down what makes him such a special prospect. Vinay talk about where he can improve as a player, and what position he best fits at. We also discuss how the Mavs should proceed building their roster around Flagg, and what they should do with veterans Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, P.J. Washington, and Daniel Gafford. Mavs governor Patrick Dumont should still fire Nico Harrison and hire a General Manager who is committed to developing and building around Flagg, not treating him as an accessory around Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. Overall, it was a momentous day for the Mavericks franchise, which has given them new life and a future that didn't exist earlier in the week. It's on them to not squander it this time.

The Dallas Mavericks landed the no. 1 pick in the draft, which means that they'll likely take the consensus no. 1 prospect, Cooper Flagg, after they traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers midway through the 2024-25 season.

And the winner of the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes is... the Dallas Mavericks. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down what it means for Flagg to be heading the Kyrie and Lively's team. Jason and Donald both think it is a pretty good fit for the guy who seems poised to be a budding superstar in the league. After the break, the podcast guys dive into what they are hearing about Cedric Coward, the Duke transfer portal prospect who is testing the NBA Draft waters. The good news is that Cedric a stud with testing measurements and scores that at the NBA combine that are wowing everyone. The bad news is, that makes it much more likely that he stays in the draft and never makes it to Durham. That could mean that Jon Scheyer needs to explore backup plans to fill out Duke's 25-26 roster. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

An INSANE Night In The NBA Playoffs Turns Gil's Arena Upside Down as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to a crazy night of NBA action that will change the league for many years to come. They start things off by reacting to the NBA Draft Lottery that awarded the Dallas Mavericks with the #1 overall picks and rights to Cooper Flagg just 4 months after trading Luka Doncic to Lebron James' Los Angeles Lakers. They break down the immense impact Flagg will have on the Mavericks' core of Kyrie Irving & Anthony Davis and debate if the NBA stepped in to award Nico Harrison for his move to save the Lakers. They also react to the San Antonio Spurs & Philadelphia 76ers landing at the top of a loaded draft and debate what these teams will do to surround stars like Victor Wembanyama, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey with more young talent. Next, they react to the devastating night for the Boston Celtics as the reigning champions fell down 3-1 in the NBA Playoffs to the New York Knicks and also likely lost franchise player Jayson Tatum to a serious injury. They break down the heartbreaking news for the Celtics and discuss the lasting impact this will have on the team moving forward before analyzing how Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony-Towns and Mikal Bridges lifted the Knicks to the brink of one of the more shocking upsets in recent years. Finally, they react to all the action across the NBA Playoffs including the battle of NBA MVP Candidates between Nikola Jokic & Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Anthony Edwards lifting the Minnesota Timberwolves over a Steph Curry-less Golden State Warriors squad, and The Cleveland Cavaliers meltdown against Tyrese Haliburton & The Indiana Pacers.

A flurry of news on Duke hit the feed today so Donald and Jason jumped on the Duke Basketball Roundup to chat about it. First up, we have another member of the 20226 team as Jack Scott, a wing from Princeton has committed to play at Duke. Jack figures to be a deep bench/practice player for the most part but the podcast gang have plenty of thoughts about how he fits and what he does for Duke. After the break, there is a ton of news coming out of the NBA Draft combine. Isaiah Evans isn't there (someone remind Jason that we need to talk about that), Tyrese Proctor isn't player, and we are getting measurements on Cooper, Kon, and Manman. The DBR Podcast has all the Duke news you could want as we await the lottery and learn where Copper will be planting his Flagg next season. Learn more about your ad choices.
