New: Cooper Flagg is close to his NBA debut inside American Airlines Center. It's the new gym he's always dreamt of playing in, one where he'll be the youngest on the court. A profile on Flagg's competitive edge: "I’m young, but I’m competitive as hell.”
Cooper Flagg's been the best player in every gym so far. Why should NBA be any different?

I also spoke to PJ Washington, who’s out today with right knee soreness, about his reaction to the Luka Doncic trade: “It surprised me, for sure. I was shocked. I just wish him the best. Obviously, he’s one of our brothers & we went through the battles & fires with him. In this

Asked Nikola Jokic about his good friend Luka Doncic being traded to the Lakers: “He was building something there. He was hurt.” Is it weird not having Luka at All-Star festivities? “It’s weird because we always have a good night before the game.”

Klay Thompson on the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers: “I wish Luka the best. It was a joy to play with him in those 22 games we were together, but we’re obviously going to welcome AD with open arms…It’s the nature of the business, obviously you have to be professional

Klay Thompson was asked if he would've made the same decision to join the Mavs last summer knowing what he knows now: "Don't do this to me. Don't do that to me. Don't do that. That's kind of a ridiculous question because I don't own a time machine & I don't believe in going back

Klay Thompson on Cooper Flagg’s first practice: “Cooper did great. I’m most impressed he did not sit out one drill. I don’t care how many shots he misses, how many mistakes he makes. The fact that he’s in there and he’s competing every single drill, that’s what impresses me.”

#Mavs assistant/Summer League head coach Jared Dudley wants his players to focus on the big picture. “There will be some 25-point scorers here at Summer League that will not play in the NBA next year. There will be some guys who average 5 or 6 that will. Take the stats out.”

Naji Marshall just told me he hasn’t spoken directly to Luka Doncic yet, but he said the former Mavs superstar texted the team’s group chat & said: “Thanks for everything.” Marshall: “I was surprised like everyone else. Very good dude. Good teammate. I look forward to playing

Here’s some No. 1 pick camaraderie: Kyrie Irving also linked up with Cade Cunningham after the game. They met each other’s daughters. Cade’s daughter got a chance to meet and get a photo with Kyrie and Paige Bueckers.
