After defying their 1.8% odds in the lottery, the Dallas Mavericks plan on selecting Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft next month, according to multiple reports. What moves should the Mavs make after that, though? Could they trade back into what will be a stacked first round? What do they do with Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington, who are both on expiring contracts heading into next season?

After three and a half months of sports depression and misery following the Dallas Mavericks’ trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, MFFL were miraculously given new life on Monday night. With just a 1.8% chance to win the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery, the Mavs somehow defied those low odds and came away with the highly coveted top pick, allowing them the opportunity to draft Duke’s generational 18-year-old, Cooper Flagg, on June 25.

Despite having just a 1.8% chance of winning the NBA Draft Lottery, the Dallas Mavericks ended up doing just that on Monday night. It was the first time the Mavs moved up in the lottery in franchise history, and it was tied for the second-largest jump in NBA Lottery history. Now, with the No. 1 pick in their possession, the question is: Will the Mavs draft 19-year-old Duke phenom Cooper Flagg, or will general manager Nico Harrison try to trade the pick for a superstar like Giannis Antetokounmpo?

The injury-riddled Mavs barely scraped into the NBA Play-In Tournament but ultimately fell short of making the playoffs.

As the Dallas Mavericks prepare to take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night at FedExForum with the Western Conference playoffs’ 8-seed on the line, I recapped the inspiring performance we witnessed on Wednesday when Dallas kept its season alive by blowing out the Sacramento Kings on the road, 120-106. I’ve been on record saying that, although I’m generally an optimistic person by nature, I didn’t have a good feeling about these Play-In Tournament games for the Mavs.

I’ve seen people pushing back on the Mavs’ lottery luck due to the idea that Nico Harrison doesn’t deserve this mulligan after how he handled the Luka trade. That might be true, but you know who does deserve this? WE do. Let’s embrace it. ✍️ (free): https://t.co/vLSNu69E7X https://t.co/1DzyuopqEx
OR… Option C… they could sign / reunite with [redacted] for both the vibes and effectiveness.
Would you rather… A) sign someone like Dennis Schroder for the minimum this summer or B) give up Washington OR Gafford + draft capital for someone like Coby White
