According to recent comments from Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the Mavericks may have a chance to trade for him. According to Buha, he's uncertain if the Lakers and James have a good relationship going right now.

The highlight of the latest iteration of the annual Las Vegas Summer League occurred Thursday night when Cooper Flagg and Bronny James traded buckets at Thomas & Mack Center. The highly anticipated matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers drew a star-studded crowd.

Rumors have been swirling about the Cleveland Cavaliers potentially reuniting with LeBron James this offseason, as he and the Los Angeles Lakers seem to be at odds. Of course, James' $52.6 million salary for next season would cause major complications in any potential trade.

Cooper Flagg may not have been happy with his professional debut in the NBA Summer League, but he still drew some rave reviews afterward.

Cooper Flagg didn't shy away from self-criticism after a rocky NBA summer league debut, calling the performance "not up to my standard" following the Dallas Mavericks' 87-85 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Cooper Flagg strolled into UNLV’s Thomas and Mack Center at 4:17 p.m. on Thursday, wearing Dallas Mavericks gear, bright white New Balance shoes, and an emotionless look on his face as he passed through security.
