After the NBA Draft Lottery, NBA fans decided to speculate that Cooper Flagg was not happy that the Dallas Mavericks landed the No. 1 pick. They thought that his reaction exposed that he wanted a different team to earn the right to draft him, but that wasn't the case at all, and that quickly became clear.
Flagg was happy to join a team with strong veterans where he would have the chance to win rather than rebuild, and the chance to contend for a title with the Mavs excited him as soon as they won the lottery.
