Jason Kidd recently shared his thoughts on the lottery and where he was when Dallas secured the No. 1 pick. When asked about Cooper Flagg going first overall, Kidd hesitated before referring to him only as “the kid from Duke.” Even without saying his name, Kidd expressed genuine excitement about Flagg. He also opened up about the Luka trade, explaining that when he found out about the deal, he didn’t argue instead, he immediately focused on moving the team forward.
