Cooper Flagg has diplomatic response to Mavericks firing Nico Harrison

Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg kept it diplomatic when asked about the organization’s decision to fire general manager Nico Harrison.

"Obviously, I didn't have an incredibly long relationship with Nico, but from what I knew, he seemed like a great guy and we had a really solid relationship," Flagg said. "At the end of the day, I’m here to play basketball, and whatever goes on above me is above me. I can't worry about it too much. I'm going to keep trying to show up and be who I am and try to be better every single day."

Like Flagg stated, he didn’t have a very long relationship with Harrison, so he might not have felt extreme emotions regarding the move one way or another. But, Harrison was the GM who drafted Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in June and made his basketball dreams come true, so there was probably some affinity there.
