Queue to apologize? Mavericks No. 1! Flag is here!

4:07am, 17 May 2025【Basketball】

At the just-concluded draft lottery ceremony, the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick this year with a 11th 1.8% chance! The Spurs won the second pick! 76ers got the Tanhua sign! Among the top four teams with the probability, the Hornets only saved the suspense to the end and they finally got the No. 4 pick. Although the probability is tied for the highest, the Jazz finally only got the No. 5 pick. The probability of the Mavericks winning the No. 1 pick is 1.8%, which is the lowest probability of winning the No. 1 pick since the current lotto lottery rules were implemented in 2019.

It can be said that there is no suspense to be the No. 1 pick this year, which means that Flag will be in Dallas. In fact, this may not be a good result for the NBA. Among the top four teams, the Jazz, Wizards, Hornets and Pelicans are not in good condition and the market is also average. The Mavericks have had good record in recent years and there are also balloon stars. In addition, Flag and the team's core positions do not overlap, so there are no happy worries to consider.

Everything has settled, no accident, this is the final result. Considering that Irving is still in the recovery stage in the new season, Flag also has more opportunities to level up. After practicing, Irving and Thick Eyebrow are just right, which is not a perfect script for Flag.

To be honest, this result is still very surprising, and I even saw some comments from netizens that brought up conspiracy theories. In order to bring Doncic to the big market in Los Angeles, the NBA found a No. 1 pick in the draft. Although it may not be a perfect win-win situation, at least it will not be a loss to get Flag. There is also saying, "Everything is driven by the league. It's just that the Lakers are cheap. It's hard to force these bad teams."

No matter whether it is true or false, just say that for an ordinary fan, do you think it's pretty good to see Flag go to a more developed team?
