While some fans and media love to speculate about trades, the Mavericks are not playing that game. They will keep the No. 1 pick.

The Mavericks reportedly plan to draft Cooper Flagg, and the Duke prospect will help them contend in the Western Conference.

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.
