Milwaukee Bucks Receive: Max Christie, Daniel Gafford, Jordan Hawkins, Caleb Martin, Kelly Olynyk, 2025 No. 1 overall pick, 2026 first-round pick (their own, via New Orleans), 2027 first-round pick (their own, via New Orleans' swap rights)

The Dallas Mavericks went into Monday's NBA Draft lottery with just a 1.8 percent chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick and the rights to select Duke star Cooper Flagg. The odds were so minuscule that Kyrie Irving was seemingly just as surprised as the rest of us.

The Mavericks stunningly won the NBA draft lottery with a 1.8 percent to win the first pick, giving their beleaguered GM another generational talent.

The Dallas Mavericks pulled off the improbable on Monday night, jumping from No. 11 to No. 1 in the NBA Draft Lottery. It was simply an incredible rise for the Mavericks, who had a 1.8% chance to land the top pick prior to the festivities.

As of Monday, a No. 77 Mavericks jersey that features the phrase “Fire Nico” across the back has gone up for auction. Bids for the jersey have gone up to $1,500, thanks to a particular feature on one of the numbers. The jersey was signed by none other than Doncic himself.

Which brings us to what fans and talking heads are wondering: would Nico Harrison really trade the No. 1 pick that he just got in the 2025 NBA Draft ... for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

In the wake of the lottery results, former NBA player and two-time champion with the Lakers, Mychal Thompson, took to social media to comment on the situation. Thompson, whose son Klay currently plays for the Mavericks, predicted Dallas will trade Flagg to LA in five years.

The Mavericks had the winning numbers. The team with just a 1.8% chance at winning the No. 1 pick won, against virtually all the odds

After the Dallas Mavericks somehow won the 2025 Draft Lottery, they will be on the clock to select one of the hottest prospects in NBA history but how will the rest of the first round selections look like?

This is emphatically not the situation Cooper Flagg is about to walk into. If everything goes right, the Mavericks -- who improbably won the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft on Monday night -- could genuinely contend for the 2026 championship.
