The Dallas Mavericks have been the focus of controversy for a significant amount of time now. With the Luka Doncic trade taking the NBA by surprise, the fans could not believe what they saw. Despite Anthony Davis joining their squad, the Mavericks’ fans seemed to be enraged. Throwing significant shade at the Mavericks’ authorities, they wanted a solution immediately. And much to their surprise, the fans do have enough reasons to smile.
With the 2025 NBA lottery done and dusted, the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Wings have won big. Despite having a negligible chance of winning the lottery, they ultimately did end up riding on their luck. Something they badly needed to get themselves back on track. And with that, the Mavericks have now almost secured the services of Cooper Flagg and Paige Buekers!

Yes, you heard that right. Flagg and Buekers are the top prospects in the draft. And having a chance to acquire them will surely boost the morale of the Mavericks. After all, with Doncic gone, things looked quite bleak for the team. Despite having Anthony Davis in their ranks, the lack of a proper young superstar to build the team around was much needed. With conspiracy theories floating, fans had all sorts of reactions flooding social media.
