Mavericks decide to choose Flag, the first pick, has officially issued a trial invitation, fans line up to apologize to Harrison

The latest report by Brad Townsend, a reporter from Dallas Morning News, as the Mavericks draw the No. 1 pick at the 2025 draft with a low probability of 1.8%, the Mavericks' management basically locked in the NCAA's most talented white forward Cooper Flag, and issued a trial invitation to Flag as soon as possible. The Mavericks general manager Nick Harrison also turned over with this No. 1 pick. Mavericks fans lined up to apologize to Nick Harrison at home.

After a tormented season, the Mavericks finally made a comeback. The chances of winning the No. 1 pick with a record of 39 wins and 43 losses were originally extremely slim. Unexpectedly, they finally defeated the Jazz, Wizards, Hornets and Pelicans and won the most valuable first pick in one fell swoop. "Believe it or not, the Mavericks drew the No. 1 pick at the draft lottery ceremony held in Chicago, creating team history." Brad Thomson said, "Hell is frozen. The goddess of luck laughed. Dallas, do you believe in miracles?"

"Yes. Miracles happened in Dallas." Brad Thomson said, "Maverick fans waited for miracles. For the 17th time in team history, they got a surprise gift package, or the first time in league history to draw a far higher than expected draw." The person representing the Mavericks draw was the team's passing star Rolando Blackman, and the actual draw was assistant general manager Matt Ricardi. The real behind the Mavericks draft lottery is General Manager Nick Harrison, and some conspiracy theorists believe that all this is the promise and compensation given to the Mavericks by Luca Doncic when the deal happened.

"Whether it is the intentional compensation of the league or the luck of the Mavericks, the Mavericks management has made a preliminary decision to bring Flag to Dallas with the 2025 draft No. 1 pick." Rud Townsend confirmed, "The Mavericks management immediately sent a trial invitation to Flag, and there is no plan to try out other popular players in the draft for the time being." The Mavericks have really done it, not only to win the championship for three consecutive seasons, but also to ensure that they win the future plan. As the core lineup, players such as Flag, Davis, Irving, Lefley and Gafford are the core lineup. The Mavericks are full of mountains and rivers and no way out, and there is another village of light. The

2m03 Flag striker has outstanding defensive talent and continuous evolutionary offensive skills. He averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game in his freshman season, and shot 38.5% of the three-point shooting percentage. He won the best player in the United States and led Duke to the final four. 19-year-old Flag has demonstrated top athletic talent, extraordinary basketball IQ and mature game dominance. Unless there is a major change, or if a more talented player suddenly appears in 2025, there is no factor that can stop the Mavericks from bringing Flag to Dallas.

"The first pick was selected by Flag, which was the decision made immediately after the Mavericks obtained this draft pick." Brad Townsend said. Now it seems that the Mavericks are the biggest winners of Doncic's deal. Doncic, who has problems with the defensive end and is not self-disciplined in the offseason, exchanged for Flag, who is 19-year-old with both offense and defense, and also got Anthony Davis, Christie and the Lakers' first round unprotected draft picks in 2029. Looking back at this heavy trade three months later, the Mavericks are the real winner. In other words, the Lakers exchanged the Mavericks for Flag, Davis at the peak and Christie with great potential, and also cleared Crabell's garbage contract. Only at this time did Mavericks fans understand the reason why Nick Harrison made the decision to trade Doncic.

"After the news that the Mavericks got Flagg came out, a large number of local fans in Dallas ran to the Mavericks' home court, the American Airlines Center apologized to Nick Harrison." Brad Townsend said, "Since Doncic, who shocked the league, swaps with Davis, the calls for fire Harrison have been difficult to calm down. Now, what I heard in Dallas are praising Nick Harrison." Harrison always emphasized the concept of defensive team building, and continued to build the frontcourt height after the trade was Doncic. Next, Flag will further strengthen the defensive team building concept. Although the lineup rotation faces challenges, Nick Harrison is adjusting the lineup step by step.

Mavericks fans were angry for sending Doncic away, believing that this deal would accelerate the aging of the lineup and shorten the window for the championship. Flag, the No. 1 pick, will balance the Mavericks' timeline and fit Harrison's philosophy. Flag can immediately act as a starting small forward, and his agility and athletic ability are suitable for the outside defense. Ideally, Flagg will form a frontcourt rotation with Davis, Gafferd, Lefley or PJ-Washington, but the five-man time allocation will be a problem. And this is precisely the sweet troubles of the Mavericks and the Mavericks fans now
