Overview
- Dallas has opened 2-4 with a league-worst 104.5 offensive rating and bottom-five three-point volume and accuracy.
- Jason Kidd said Flagg’s on-ball role stems from early injuries and a desire to give the rookie experience handling pressure for April games.
- Flagg acknowledged a difficult transition and poor shooting to date, saying he will keep trusting his work after a taxing Mexico City loss to Detroit.
- Analysts argue the roster needs a true point guard, with ideas ranging from starting a veteran guard to a Bleacher Report proposal sending Daniel Gafford to New Orleans for Jose Alvarado, Saddiq Bey and a 2028 pick swap.
- Kidd signaled no immediate shift in approach before Kyrie Irving returns and expressed hope the guard is back sometime in 2025.
