"Flagg wasn't traded from the Mavericks, but Anthony Davis was. And that deal signaled the official end of one era and the start of the future. And that future, in Dallas, is built entirely around Flagg. In the last two weeks, Flagg has exploded as the no-question featured player with averages of 32.0 PPG, 7.7 RPG and 4.0 APG in his last six outings."
"The Cavaliers traded injured point guard Darius Garland for future Hall of Famer James Harden. While there are questions about how Harden and his high-usage style might fit in the same backcourt with Donovan Mitchell and about how Harden might perform in the playoffs, there is no question that he has excellent point-guard skills. He is good at breaking down opposing defenses and setting up teammates to attack the resulting imbalance, and he is excellent at running the pick-and-roll/pop"
The NBA trade deadline created significant roster movement that opened opportunities and left needs across the league. Cooper Flagg emerged as Dallas' featured player after Anthony Davis' departure, averaging 32.0 PPG, 7.7 RPG and 4.0 APG in his last six outings and ascending toward potential top-10 fantasy status. Cleveland acquired James Harden for Darius Garland, pairing Harden's elite playmaking and pick-and-roll skills with scorers Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Mobley projects as a 20-plus point scorer when healthy, while Allen has embraced the roll-man role after averaging 14.5 PPG on 61.5% shooting this season.
