Does Jason Kidd deserve credit for Cooper Flagg’s breakout start, or is the Dallas Mavericks star’s rise all talent and roster construction? Breaking down Cooper Flagg’s usage rate, Mavs on/off stats, Kyrie Irving’s role, and who deserves “credit cookies” for the Mavs’ 2-2 start to the NBA season. Nick Angstadt hands out credit cookies for the Dallas Mavericks’ season so far, digging into Jason Kidd, Dusty May, and how much credit Cooper Flagg deserves for his elite start. Nick also looks at how Dusty May has handled Zaccharie Risacher, the unsung workhorse play of PJ Washington, and the guard rotation of Marcus Sasser, Walter Clayton Jr., Sergio De Larrea, and Naji Marshall. What credit do Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri and Mavs GM Mike Schmitz get for the roster, and what does it mean for Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, and the Mavs ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder?   0:00 Jason Kidd’s Cooper Flagg Credit?12:39 Cooper Flagg On/Off Impact16:06 Dusty May Rotation Experiments20:19 Dusty May Handling Risacher24:18 PJ Washington Unsung Workhorse       Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on Socials - Locked On Mavs Twitter @LockedOnMavs - Locked On Mavs Instagram LockedOnMavs   - Nick Angstadt Twitter @NickVanExit - Nick Angstadt TikTok NickVanExit - Nick Angstadt Instagram @NickVanExit   - Isaac Harris Twitter @IsaacLHarris - Isaac Harris Instagram @IsaacLHarris_     Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers   SquareGet up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://square.com/go/NBA ! #squarepod   KALSHIToday's episode is brought to you by Kalshi.

The Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat behind an 11-assist night from Cooper Flagg, and head coach Dusty May revealed why he’ll never tell Zaccharie Risacher to stop shooting. Why does Dusty May see Cooper Flagg as the Mavs’ top playmaker with 15-20 assist games ahead, and what did Kyrie Irving say about Risacher’s effort in this NBA win? Nick Angstadt breaks down Dusty May’s “next shot” mentality, how it differs from the Jason Kidd era, and what it means for Mavs role players like Zaccharie Risacher, PJ Washington, and Max Christie. Nick explains why Dusty May called Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving superstars, and how the Mavs view Cooper Flagg as their point guard. Plus, Walter Clayton Jr. scored 15 points in 17 minutes on a two-way deal, and Nick looks at what that means for a guard room with Sergio de Larrea, Marcus Sasser, and Naji Marshall.     Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on Socials - Locked On Mavs Twitter @LockedOnMavs - Locked On Mavs Instagram LockedOnMavs   - Nick Angstadt Twitter @NickVanExit - Nick Angstadt TikTok NickVanExit - Nick Angstadt Instagram @NickVanExit   - Isaac Harris Twitter @IsaacLHarris - Isaac Harris Instagram @IsaacLHarris_     Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers   SquareGet up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://square.com/go/NBA ! #squarepod   KALSHIToday's episode is brought to you by Kalshi.

Marcus Sasser scored 17 points in 24 minutes and was the lone surprise bright spot for the Dallas Mavericks in their season-opening loss to the Houston Rockets. What did Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg say about Sasser, and can he become the Mavs’ next lead guard in the NBA? Nick Angstadt breaks down what Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg said about Marcus Sasser and why Dusty May played him over Sergio De Larrea. He goes bucket by bucket through Sasser’s 17 points, from transition corner 3s off passes from Naji Marshall and Kyrie Irving to a pick and roll with Daniel Gafford. Plus, Sasser’s postgame presser on the Mavs letting their offense dictate their defense, and why players like PJ Washington, Max Christie and Dereck Lively II’s draft classmate Sasser matter for who can touch the paint.     Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on Socials - Locked On Mavs Twitter @LockedOnMavs - Locked On Mavs Instagram LockedOnMavs   - Nick Angstadt Twitter @NickVanExit - Nick Angstadt TikTok NickVanExit - Nick Angstadt Instagram @NickVanExit   - Isaac Harris Twitter @IsaacLHarris - Isaac Harris Instagram @IsaacLHarris_     Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers   SquareGet up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://square.com/go/NBA ! #squarepod   KALSHIToday's episode is brought to you by Kalshi.
