Locked On Mavericks Hit - Quick Takes on the Dallas Mavericks

Kyrie Irving’s return could be the biggest change for the Dallas Mavericks this NBA season, even more than every Mavs offseason move. New reports from the Mavs’ preseason trip to China say Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg are excited to share the floor and tilt defenses, and Kyrie’s presence takes pressure off Cooper Flagg as a ball handler.Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) breaks down Damian Peters’ reports on Kyrie Irving and explains why Kyrie’s return matters more than Dusty May’s new system, the players Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri brought in, and the players Mavs GM Mike Schmitz drafted. He also explains why the Mavs lacked a true on-court leader last season behind PJ Washington and Klay Thompson, and why he has been against trading Kyrie Irving unless the return is huge. Plus, the Mavs land in the B tier of the Locked On NBA tier list alongside the Heat, Magic, Hawks, Jazz, Suns, and Blazers, and Kyrie Irving still wants to play for the Australian national team.   📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images  📲 Follow Locked On Mavs HitFacebook: Locked On Mavs HitInstagram | Locked On Mavs HitTiktok | Locked On Mavs HitTwitter | Locked On Mavs Hit  📲 Follow NickTwitter | @NickVanExitTikTok | NickVanExitInstagram | @NickVanExit  Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms  Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More…📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/    📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers  KalshiToday's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

The Dallas Mavericks are putting the ball in Cooper Flagg’s hands as the primary initiator, with Kyrie Irving moving into a secondary, staggered role, according to new Mavs reports from the NBA preseason trip to China. Is Point Flagg the right move for the Mavs’ offense, and how does it change under Dusty May compared to Jason Kidd?Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) breaks down the latest reports on Cooper Flagg’s leadership role, why the Mavs are building their future around him, and what Kyrie Irving’s secondary role means for the Dallas Mavericks’ offense. Nick also covers how veterans like PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, Caleb Martin, and Santi Aldama fit around Flagg, and why the Mavs chose not to add another point guard beyond Sergio de Larrea and Marcus Sasser. What does Naji Marshall’s ball-handling role tell us about Dusty May’s new pace-and-space offense, and could it make Point Flagg easier than last season?  📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images  📲 Follow Locked On Mavs HitFacebook: Locked On Mavs HitInstagram | Locked On Mavs HitTiktok | Locked On Mavs HitTwitter | Locked On Mavs Hit  📲 Follow NickTwitter | @NickVanExitTikTok | NickVanExitInstagram | @NickVanExit  Daily Podcast: Locked On Mavericks with Nick & Isaac Harris📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms  Join the Everydayer Club: Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More…📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/    📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | lockedonpodcasts.com/offers  KalshiToday's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.

The Dallas Mavericks are leaning on rookie Sergio de Larrea in the NBA preseason, and the Mavs’ thin ball handling depth behind Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg could push him into a big role this season. Is Sergio de Larrea already the best passer on the Mavs, and can he fix the turnover issues that followed him from overseas and Summer League?Nick Angstadt breaks down why Sergio de Larrea is about to be tested by the Dallas Mavericks, from Marcus Sasser’s preseason absence to Kyrie Irving’s expected rest on the NBA’s most back-to-backs. Nick explains how Dusty May has used Naji Marshall as a lead ball handler and why Cooper Flagg fits better as a secondary creator. He also digs into Sergio’s no-look and transition passing, his defense, and his assist-to-turnover numbers. 📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!KalshiToday's hit is sponsored by Kalshi.
