The Mavericks may be asking D'Angelo Russell for something he doesn't have to offer at this point.
Fans of the Dallas Mavericks knew that Nico Harrison would have to adjust to Kyrie Irving being out for the first half of next year as he recovers from an ACL tear. They answered that call pretty well by grabbing Cooper Flagg to be one of their new franchise cornerstones. Flagg has been as good as advertised in workouts and in Summer League action. Another name that fans were stunned by was former Gonzaga guard Ryan Nembhard, who is looking like another confident shooter and ball handler that the Mavs desperately needed.
