Its official. Cooper Flagg is finally a part of the Dallas Mavericks. With that comes the massive expectation of becoming the future face of the franchise and hopefully leading them to a championship. Not too long ago, that role belonged to Luka Doncic, before Nico Harrison abruptly traded him at the February deadline, making him the most hated figure in Dallas. While the GM is hopeful that drafting Cooper would help reduce the fans’ anger toward him, the former Blue Devil’s unusual reaction at the introductory presser has brought Nico’s mistake to the forefront yet again.
During his latest media appearance, when ESPN’s Tim MacMahon asked Flagg, “There’s statue of Dirk outside the arena. Obviously, he was the face of this franchise for a long time. He kind of handed the baton to Luka. The anticipation was he would have been the face for a long time. Plans changed…” Before MacMahon could finish his question, the Doncic query caught Cooper’s attention and he immediately gave a side-eye to Nico and tried his best to control his laughter.
It was as if Cooper was hinting that Nico was the reason Mavs changed their plan for Luka. Sure enough, the reaction immediately went viral as fans noticed the hilarious moment. Soon after, comments like “Even he was shocked about that stoopid az trade smh” and “OMG that got me in tears” began flooding in.
Even he was shocked about that stoopid az trade smh
