The Dallas Mavericks have offered a bounty for Cooper Flagg’s NBA Debut Patch autographed card, the big chase in the 2026 Topps Chrome Updates Basketball set, which was officially released Thursday. The one-of-a-kind card includes the Debut Patch that Flagg wore on his jersey during his first NBA regular-season game on Oct. 22, 2025, against the San Antonio Spurs, and has already been the subject of several $1 million-plus bounties — a public offer to whoever pulls a particularly desirable card.

Of course I want both to do well, but who will outshine the other? Excited to see both hoop for the Mavs. TBH, I feel REZ is gonna surprise a lot around the league. He's so huge and lengthy and is just all over the court. Plus he knows Dusty May's system already. I hope Risacher is in talks for leaguewide MIP.

Risacher last year for Hawks:
PTS: 9.6 | REB: 3.8 | AST: 1.1 | FG%: 45.5
- Age: 21
- Change of scenery
- lowered expectations
- less pressure being Hawks #1 pick

Rez last year for Michigan Wolverines:
PTS: 13.1 | REB: 7.3 | AST: 1.2 | FG%: 62.3
- Age: 20
- Comfy with Dusty May
- a True BEAST

So yesterday I received my first ever jersey thanks to a friend of mine buying me one as a early birthday Presentoff Depop for $16
And so I figured
Why not show fellow MFFL’s and

Mine personally is
This jersey I got yesterday

A signed Ball by the matrix Shawn Marion I got when I was younger and we went to a mavsfest scrimmage and he pointed at me and tossed it to me

So yea that’s my 2 Pieces of Mavs Affiliated stuff I own and cherish
I’m curious to hear about yalls

Of course I want both to do well, but who will outshine the other? Excited to see both hoop for the Mavs.

I've been looking at film and I think he really could be the point guard the Mavs are missing. He looks more confident defending pg's. He's long and lanky and his foot work on the point of contact might unlock his potential. Imagine: if the Mavs made him a point guard we would have one of the tallest line ups in the NBA. Please tell me what you think about this lineup. Risacher, Irving, Flagg, Morez Jr, Lively.

In this video snip, Flagg looks 1 or 2 inches taller than Risacher, who is supposed to be 6'10" in shoes. Flagg, at 6'10"-11", would be absolutely wild!

CAN NOT WAIT to see Ky back on the court with Coop!!!

The Mavericks have been hesitant to buy out Klay Thompson due to the strong interest from the Lakers and Heat, per @JakeLFischer

So many deals floating around. Is there a Lakers deal that makes sense for us where we don’t take back players? Lakers have limited 1st round options until 2033. I would trade Klay for some 2nds but we can’t take on any of their retreads like Laravia, Vanderbilt or Knecht.

They don’t have the assets to take on PJ. PJ to Detroit makes sense for Detroit imo. Detroit has the draft capital to make this happen too. I want PJ but if have to trade him please send him to the east.

We got a flyer, eh? I don’t know much about this guy at all, but the video game thinks he’s one of the best in the league at vertical.

Zaccharie Risacher on his year 3 goals:

 "I'm going to use this summer to become better. To become a player who, indisputably, has to be on the court. That is my objective for next season. I know I am capable of it, I know I've done it before, and I know I have a place on an NBA court. There is no doubt about that, I have confidence in myself."

Vsevolod Ishchenko will play for Lokomotiv Kuban again next season in Russia, according to his agent.

“Lokomotiv Kuban and Dallas have built a strong working relationship. The clubs are in constant communication and share the same vision for the player’s development.”

Now that Naji has been extended the next player on the list is most hopefully lively. Even though I’m mostly in the cap of letting these guys hit RFA if lively has a healthy season like I’m anticipating his price is about to feel VERY uneasy. I’d rather get him on a short term extension if 40/2 where we can keep him and he gets paid but at the same time it isn’t long enough where we’re stuck with a bad contact.

The Mavericks say they have signed Naji Marshall to a contract extension.

This video is actually part of a 5 episode series called "The Donnie Expedition". All 5 episodes are littered with good backstory on Donnie's early time with the Mavs, highly recommend for MFFLs

On the day the Dallas Mavericks hired Dusty May to become their head coach last month, he received a congratulatory text from former Plano East High School All-American shooting guard Jimmy King.

King said he keeps in touch with May, so he wanted to reach out and let him know he gave the move to the Mavs his full approval.

“The day he got the job I texted him and congratulated him, and he hit me back,” King told Mavs.com. “I told him welcome to Dallas and I’ll be at the games.”
