Mark Cuban opens up about "hope of a franchise" Cooper FlaggCooper Flagg's draft was fairly able to control the storm in Dallas after the Luka Doncic trade. With the 2025-26 season right at the door, Mavericks' former owner, Mark Cuban, has high hopes for his rookie. "You know the basketball gods smiled upon us when we got Cooper and the kid's just amazing...everybody loves him to death," Cuban told Boardroom co-founder Rich Kleiman on his Network podcast. "The best part is, he's all basketball and a little bit of golf and that's all her cares about...and he's just 18 years old."Cuban also compared Cooper Flagg's situation to when the Mavs drafted Luka Doncic in 2018. "It's hard to comprehend that this 18-year-old is the hope of a franchise, just like when we got Luka."Cuban also added that it wouldn't be too hard for Flagg to adjust to the pressure, because he had already handled it at Duke.
