One of the most well-respected and well-liked coaches of the recent Los Angeles Lakers era was Phil Handy. The player development assistant was brought over from the NBA Champion Toronto Raptors in 2019 to serve under Frank Vogel and alongside Jason Kidd with the Lakers.

The NBA season is still several months away, but Flagg and his young teammates have been participating in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Flagg received a huge ovation as he took to the court in his second game. Fans were chanting “Coop” in rhythmic fashion at a fairly high level as he took the court for the team's warmups.

According to a recent report from NBA Insider Tim MacMahon of ESPN, the Mavericks are expected to get a deal finalized with P.J. Washington, a big forward who can knock down shots. He later added that while a deal should be extended over the next month, Washington will likely sign something that will be very tradeable.

The Dallas Mavericks are expected to give coach Jason Kidd a contract extension before next season starts, according to Marc Stein. That should put to bed any lingering questions about his future with the Mavericks.

Summer League head coach Josh Broghamer revealed Jason Kidd's important message to the Mavericks for Summer League.
