Something I just realized is that the Rockets, Spurs and Thunder all have slightly less to trade now than they did a few hours ago.
All of them controlled future Mavericks picks that looked really valuable before Cooper Flagg showed up. – 11:51 PM

The only word that came to mind Monday night in Chicago, with so many Wizards employees and and family relatives literally sitting feet from Cooper Flagg – only to see him go to, of all teams, Dallas – in the NBA Lottery was…cruel. In @TheAthletic:

NEW: Mavs get No. 1 pick (presumably Cooper Flagg) from same lottery seed that would have belonged to the Heat miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… A painful result for those thinking about what could have been for the Heat – 8:30 PM

Just a devastating result for the Heat.
They would have had the No. 11 lottery slot if they had missed the playoffs. Instead, it goes to the Mavs and they get the rights to draft Cooper Flagg, – 7:26 PM

The Bulls landing Cooper Flagg would be more important to the organization than hitting on Derrick Rose. Bigger, better shooter, higher IQ, and a wing. Big bank always takes little bank. Here we go … – 7:04 PM

Barring the unexpected, former Duke star Cooper Flagg is expected to the first White-American taken with the No. pick 1 pick in the NBA Draft since 1977. The last was former Indiana center Kent Benson taken first overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in 1977. bit.ly/4klvRrD – 6:05 PM

For whoever needs to hear this: Whoever gets the No. 1 pick isn’t trading it and whoever lands 2-to-whatever isn’t moving up for it. Cooper Flagg is considered to be that good. One lottery exec told me, “if we don’t get him, I just hope he winds up in the (other) conference.” – 1:54 PM

To preview the NBA Draft Lottery, I broke down how Cooper Flagg would fit on all 13 teams that have a chance to get him tonight when the lottery occurs.
(And also did a quick thing at the top on where he ranks among top prospects of the last decade)

More on this storyline
Marc J. Spears: Cooper Flagg appears heading to the Dallas Mavericks, the owners of the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. -via Twitter @MarcJSpears / May 12, 2025
The Wizards have their D-Day tomorrow with the draft lottery. Have you watched Cooper Flagg play? Bilal Coulibaly: Yeah, I’ve watched a lot of him. I’ve watched a lot of his games. He’s a good player. He doesn’t make any really big mistakes. He’s playing good basketball when he has to, he’s not forcing it. He can score, pass the ball, rebound, do anything on the court. -via HoopsHype / May 11, 2025
As such there is skepticism in some corners of the league that the Pelicans will actually persist with Williamson as their franchise centerpiece … especially if they are fortunate enough to come away with the No. 1 pick in the May draft lottery and the right to select Duke’s Cooper Flagg. -via marcstein.substack.com / April 22, 2025
