Cooper Flagg has revealed his honest opinions on Nico Harrison's firing. On Tuesday, the Dallas Mavericks gave the fans what they have been asking for since February. The franchise fired the general manager who played a big part in trading away Luka Doncic to the Lakers.On Wednesday, Mavs reporter Joey Mistretta shared Flagg's comments on Harrison's firing on his X account. The number one pick gave a poised answer to the press, where he presented playing basketball as his top priority."It’s about basketball… He seemed like a really great guy… At the end of the day, I’m here to play basketball," Flagg said. "Whatever goes on above me, it’s above me. I can’t worry about it too much. Just going to keep trying to show up and be who I am and try and get better every single day."NBA insider Shams Charania was the first to report Harrison's firing. The insider broke the news on his X account, thirty minutes earlier than the actual decision. Dallas fans had been asking their NBA team to fire Nico Harrison for more than six months.They have been constantly chanting "Fire Nico" during Mavs home games. According to Charania, Mavs owner Patrick Dumont decided to let Harrison go before addressing the Luka Doncic trade as a mistake.Cooper Flagg remains positive despite the Mavs' poor start to the seasonThe Dallas Mavericks have had one of the poorest starts in the 2025-26 NBA season. They have a 3-9 record and are the 13th team in the Western Conference standings. Their latest game ended in a 123-114 loss against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.However, Cooper Flagg has remained positive despite his team's poor performances."Things obviously haven’t gone extremely well for us so far. It isn’t the start we’ve been looking for,” Flagg told "The Athletic" after 111-105 win over the Wizards on Saturday. “All we can do is stay positive and move forward and continue to take steps in the right direction."Flagg arrived in Dallas in a situation where he was immediately burdened with big expectations. The number one pick has been expected to fill in the huge void in the backcourt left by Luka Doncic's departure and carry the team while Kyrie Irving remains on the sideline with a torn ACL.The rookie has shown glimpses of his potential in some games, but is far from becoming a franchise superstar. Cooper Flagg is averaging 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.
