"Sweet Honey" No. 1 pick: 1.8% miracle draws, the game and undercurrent behind the Mavericks

Looking back at the previous NBA lottery session, the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick in unexpected ways!

When the Mavericks had a 1.8% chance of winning the No. 2025 pick, the entire NBA was in an instant. This is related to the fate of a team, and it also involves the undercurrent of the league's capital and the economic migration of stars.

1. "Capital Chess Game" Everything is possible

1.8% probability is equivalent to throwing six consecutive coins to the front, and the Mavericks' No. 1 pick is locked in Duke's new star Flag - a comprehensive technology and sunny image, which is exactly the white No. 1 pick in line with aesthetics. The Mavericks have a close relationship with the gambling industry, and behind Doncic's own trading is the surging capital.

This reminds people of those "coincidences" in NBA history: the Knicks "Envelope Frozen Theory" in 1985, and then to the Magic in 1993, the Cavaliers in 2014, the Bulls in 2008, the Mavericks in 2025, and the Cavaliers in 2011, the low probability miracle may be carefully designed by capital.

2. "East and Westward Movement" triggered a chain reaction

did not publicly or bid, and a simple decision was made to send away the league's signature star. After Doncic joined the Lakers, his jersey sales immediately topped Staples, which is exactly what the NBA most eager to see in the post-James era - a brand new commercial basketball genius that continues to create topics in the spotlight of Los Angeles.

For the Mavericks, on the grounds of "winning the championship with defense", they exchanged for thick eyebrows, paired with Ou Shenxian and Tang Fozu, forming a lineup that seemed to be balanced in offense and defense. Harrison's sentence "Looking at the limit of Doncic after three years" actually exposed the cruel capital logic: it is better to exchange future assets than a superstar who is not defensive.

3. "League Conspiracy" commercial script game

Selecting Flag means that the Mavericks start "de-Doncicization". This white forward from Bird's template is very consistent with the market's expectations for "American Dream"-style stars. When the NBA included gambling cooperation in its core revenue, the Mavericks boss with a casino background became a participant in the league's business transformation.

But can this big bet really win? In the past two decades, Ross led the Bulls to rise with a 1.70% probability in 2008, and most teams still cannot escape the reconstruction quagmire. When Dallas' locker room culture was reconstructed by capital, the team bet not only on record, but also on the team's soul accumulated over thirty years.

1.8% probability of winning the No. 1 pick not necessarily a gift of fate or the most exquisite twist in the alliance script. When the fans cheered, the players behind them had already cut the profit cake.
