After making it to the NBA Finals last season and falling just short of the title, Dallas Mavericks fanswere hit with a heavy blow a few months ago when Luka Doncic - the franchise icon - was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. The move sparked major frustration among the team's fanbase.

However, joy has returned to the Dallas franchise after the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery. In a surprising - and even controversial - turn of events, the Mavericks now have the opportunity to select Cooper Flagg, the Duke star who has amazed the basketball world and is being compared to legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
