May 12May 12 Congrats, Mavs fans, on winning the NBA Lottery and locking up the rights to Kon Knueppel. Nico knows. Trust the genius.
May 13May 13 can we change the thread title to 2025-2026 Mavericks - Self Flagg-Elation I am absolutely shocked the Spurs did not get the #1 pick.
May 13May 13 Also, Nico will draft Flagg and trade him to the Celtics for a 2027 #2, Derrick White, and Al Horford.

May 13May 13 Just now, LurkingHorn said: Hard not to say this isn’t rigged. I honestly don’t know what else to say. this one feels rigged. Counter point: in the previous 16 times the Mavs have been in the lottery they have stayed in the same position or moved down 16 times. Even in the Luka draft they had the 3rd best odds for number 1 and dropped to 5. Had to trade the following years one and Trae Young to get Luka.

If they had, they wouldn’t have had to trade another pick to get Luka.
May 13May 13 Changes nothing for me. Still out on this team as long as this management team is in charge.
May 13May 13 I can’t even feel good about this because I honestly don’t know if Nico is actually going to do the smart thing and keep the pick. I personally think they need to draft Flagg and trade Kyrie and AD for quality picks to put around him for the next 5-7 years.

May 13May 13 Interesting. Trade a superstar to the Lakers for nothing and get the best young player in college.wonder if Don King was involved in the transactions

May 13May 13 Dumont has a chance to do the funniest thing in the world and fire Nico before the draft.

May 13May 13 Things Nico could control: Brunson extension Luka trade Things Nico couldn’t control: Mavs 1.8% chance of winning the lottery fire Nico

They could have traded up to get the number 3 pick by taking on salary but they wouldn’t do it and decided to trade draft picks instead. Got that mixed up.
May 13May 13 With the first pick in the 25 draft Nico selects, The Professor. Season 1 And 1 Mixtape Tour winner.
May 13May 13 Man….think about how pumped we should be for this but most of us are concerned this GM is going to screw up…again. You cannot fully rule out the possibility he uses this to get KD. He doesn’t care about this franchise beyond 3 years from now. Flagg does not turn this roster into a contender next year.

Have you seen him play? He's not going to be a defensive liability.
