When the Mavericks parted ways with controversial general manager Nico Harrison, the NBA world assumed the franchise would look to pick up the pieces from the fallout of last season’s shocking trade that sent Luka Dončić to the Lakers.

The franchise found massive luck in the NBA draft lottery when they were awarded the No. 1 pick and this year’s top prize in coveted prospect Cooper Flagg.
