The Dallas Mavericks have dug themselves into a hole in the early-season Western Conference Standings, but the future of the team is bright due to No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg. On this episode, we talk about how Flagg continues to improve as the game slows down for him, and why he's making certain "anonymous NBA executives" look silly for saying he wouldn't be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Also... how about undrafted two-way player Ryan Nembhard? The small-but-poised point guard has become one of the most important players on the team while setting records in the process.

On this episode, Coach Drew and I talk about the Dallas Mavericks giving head coach Jason Kidd a contract extension that will take him through at least the 2027-28 NBA season. Despite some of his quirks that draw criticism from Mavs fans on social media at times, Kidd has done a great job overall during his time as head coach in Dallas and deserves this extension. We go into detail on why that is on today’s episode. Also... we discuss a potentially controversial topic. Which player will end up being easier for the Mavs to build a roster around: Cooper Flagg or Luka Doncic?
