The Dallas Mavericks have been the talk of the NBA in recent months, and not always for good reasons.
First, Dallas GM Nico Harrison made the most controversial trade in NBA history in February by sending superstar Luka Donu010diu0107 to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis.
AD immediately got injured in a Mavs uniform, joining Kyrie Irving (ACL) on the sidelines, and Dallas’ season quickly spiraled, making Nico look even worse.
Miraculously, the Mavs won the draft lottery in May, immediately changing their ill fortunes and setting Dallas up to select Duke phenom Cooper Flagg at No.
