On the night of February 1, everything changed for the Dallas Mavericks and their fans. Not only would Nico Harrison and the Mavericks trade franchise savior Luka Doncic on little to no notice for virtually nothing in return besides Anthony Davis, but just months later, the Mavericks rebounded by winning the NBA's draft lottery and selecting Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick.
There's no doubt that Flagg's arrival has shifted the Mavericks' focus to not only stay competitive now but also in the future around a potential player who could emerge as the face of the league in a few seasons.
