Mavericks fans can't be certain about this just yet, even after a great summer.
The first step in Cooper Flagg's rookie year for the Dallas Mavericks begins tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a preseason game at Dickie's Arena in Fort Worth, but the biggest "wild card" of the Mavericks' 2025-26 season has nothing to do with what's done on the floor.
ESPN's Bobby Marks recently said that the Mavericks' front office, led by Nico Harrison, is the "biggest wild card of any team," and if recent trends continue, Dallas could end up making some sort of trade ahead of February's trade deadline.
