I will not stop dreaming about the Anthony Davis-Cooper Flagg connection
From the beginning, the theoretical pairing of All-Star level center, Anthony Davis, at the five and dynamic downhill monster and rookie, Cooper Flagg at the four, was an exciting thought for many a basketball minds.

It appears the 2025-26 basketball season is over after just seven games for third-year Dallas Mavericks’ center Dereck Lively II.

The Dallas Mavericks are too good to tank
When the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, the season felt over. The team sat at a lowly 5-15, and had a brutal stretch of games that awaited them.
