Mavericks sign Cooper Flagg

Dallas rejected trade offers for Kyrie Irving during the offseason, according to The Athletic. The front office reportedly views Irving as a strong on-court fit alongside Cooper Flagg as the rebuild continues. Irving himself has expressed a desire to help develop Flagg.

Marc Stein of The Stein Line reports that rival teams are still monitoring Kyrie Irving's standing with the Mavericks ahead of the February 11 deadline, with Masai Ujiri said to want a look at Irving alongside Cooper Flagg first.

Dallas has fully guaranteed Moussa Cisse's $2,185,116 salary for 2026/27 after the October 1 deadline passed, Marc Stein reports, confirming earlier reporting from Mike Curtis of the Dallas Morning News. The deal had already become partially guaranteed for $1,092,558 once Cisse stayed on the roster through September 1.
