The Dallas Mavericks continue to break the internet in this NBA calendar year.
Within months of creating generational shock by trading Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas rode improbable odds to land the 2025 NBA Draft’s top pick on Monday night in Chicago.
That means the Mavericks will most likely replace Dončić with Duke superstar guard/forward Cooper Flagg once June’s draft takes place in June in Brooklyn.
Dallas general manager Nico Harrison will get the layup of layups to regain some positive vibes from Mavs fans by drafting Flagg in June. That expected move should recenter Dallas as a real contender in the Western Conference this fall.
Of course, NBA fans saw their jaws drop once again this year with a shocking NBA development involving the Mavs… and the conspiracy theories went wild.
So you’re telling me Adam Silver gave The Mavericks Cooper Flagg by a coincidence after he traded Luka Doncic
I’m not a big conspiracy theorist but it seems awfully convenient that the Mavericks traded Luka to the NBA’s biggest market and then got Cooper Flagg in return months later, despite having just a 1.8% chance to land the number one pick.
What if Adam Silver told the Mavericks if you trade Luka Doncic to the Lakers, we will give you Cooper Flagg in the draft
