10月6日，据24直播网报道，独行侠的记者Grant Afseth在参与一档播客访谈中，对欧文与弗拉格的相关话题进行了深入探讨。
Afseth Grant透露：“欧文展现出了与资深球员截然不同的态度，他积极主动，明确地向队友们传递了接续传统的信息，‘我们正全力以赴，助力这位即将成为球队未来支柱的年轻才俊’。欧文不仅在口头上对弗拉格给予坚定支持，更通过实际行动证明了自己作为卓越导师和夺冠伙伴的身份。无论是在私密还是公开场合，他对弗拉格展现出的无保留信任与信心，已为独行侠新赛季的更衣室营造出积极向上的氛围。”
In looking back, numerous teams boasting a top draft pick have faced the discomfort of blending veterans and newcomers, much like when LeBron James first joined the league, encountering the arrogance of seasoned players who viewed him as a mere understudy. Nevertheless, the current Dallas situation presents a stark contrast. Grant Afseth elaborated further.
