Compete or rebuild around Flagg? That was the dilemma the Dallas Mavericks faced at the beginning of the season, and they took the middle path, which has proven to be a mistake. Many thought that a total rebuild was imminent, but the Texans have made it clear that they intend to keep Kyrie Irving as a key part of the project.
Everything that has been happening in Dallas Mavericks for a while now is completely incomprehensible. From the arrival of Kyrie Irving to compete alongside Luka Doncic, to the departure of the Slovenian, breaking apart a project that was beginning to take shape. Things seemed to make sense with the arrival of Cooper Flagg, but the rookie needs time and a team where he can develop without competitive pressure, something he is currently lacking. That's why they have decided to put Anthony Davis on the market, but what about Kyrie?
Logic suggested that he would also be made available for transfer. However, the official stance of Dallas Mavericks has been revealed and it continues to surprise many. They view Kyrie Irving as a key piece in the maturation process of the project built around Cooper Flagg, and they want to wait for his recovery so that he can mentor a young team, relieving the young raw diamond of baseline responsibilities and being content with being part of a long-term project. It remains to be seen what the player thinks about this.
