Hey there, I'm Paula Pan.

I help people make the smartest money decisions possible.

Do not ever worry about your salary.

You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financial position.

Once you have that, your salary becomes moot.

What matters from that point forward, upside gains.

Any type of ownership stake or ownership potential, that's the money. Remember,

you can afford anything, just not everything. Afford anything. Follow and listen on your

favorite platform. It has been a tough year for the Mavericks. We talk so often about what has

gone wrong with them, what went terribly wrong with the trade

last year and now they're tanking. It's been miserable around these parts, but they do have

an asset that could take them out of these doldrums here in the next few years.

Yes, they do.

And we're about to do a little exercise here that I think highlights how good Cooper Flag is and how bright the future is with this guy, potentially.

They have to build correctly around him, which a lot of times that doesn't happen in the NBA.

It's tough.

But a lot of times it does.
