Nothing that Nico Harrison decides to do can surprise anyone anymore, not even if he chooses to overlook the possibility of drafting Cooper Flagg. Many still believe that the Dallas Mavericks will seek a trade involving their 2025 NBA Draft 1st pick, and a recent development concerning the Boston Celtics has further fueled these NBA rumors.

It's intriguing that a striking and highly publicized event has come to light: the Boston Celtics interviewing Cooper Flagg during the 2025 NBA Combine. The Massachusetts franchise dreams of having the NBA's next great white star, a natural successor to Larry Bird who would fit perfectly into the team's identity. This, coupled with the apparent exhaustion of the project that led them to glory last year and the very high salaries they are committed to and need to offload.

In this scenario, for the Boston Celtics, it would be a grand move to part ways with Jaylen Brown and some draft picks, or even another star like Porzingis, in order to attract Cooper Flagg, who would be a perfect complement to Jayson Tatum and provide the Celtics with even greater defensive power. On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks would gain one or two top-level players to compete alongside Davis and Irving, positioning themselves as strong contenders for the championship in the coming years.
