The Dallas Mavericks don't have any intention of trading away their top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and fully intend to select Cooper Flagg.

The Dallas Mavericks win the 2025 NBA draft lottery and the chance to pick Duke's Cooper Flagg at No. 1 overall. The ping-pong balls have spoken: Cooper Flagg might be headed to Dallas to start his NBA career and a fan base that lost Luka Doncic this season might have a new star to cheer for.
