Crazy! For Durant, the No. 1 pick? Cousins ​​is so brave to give advice

At this year's NBA lottery ceremony, the Dallas Mavericks miraculously won the 2025 NBA No. 1 pick with only 1.8% chance! They also created a miracle in team history, because this is the first time in the history of the Dallas Mavericks have won the No. 1 pick in the lottery draw. What makes Dallas even more excited is that the draw of this year's No. 1 pick is almost the same as their immediate possession of Cooper Flag.

Although Cooper Flagg has not officially entered the NBA yet, he has long been famous in the league! Because this talented basketball genius really makes most teams in the league salivate, and everyone believes that Flag will become a very influential superstar in the future. Therefore, many teams have started crazy bad play mode in the middle and late stages of the season. They only have one purpose, which is to improve their lottery picks as much as possible, so that they can win the No. 1 pick at the lottery ceremony and finally successfully win Cooper Flag.

But what is unexpected is that the Dallas Mavericks are ultimately the real super winner of the lottery draw ceremony. They are lucky enough to win the No. 1 pick this year with the probability of winning the No. 1 pick. Although this year's NBA draft has not started yet, for Flag and the Mavericks, they have been closely tied together. According to NBA reporter Sam Amico previously reported that Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is very excited about his possible partner Cooper Flag. Flag is also full of expectations that he will start his career in the Mavericks!

Little did they know that even though Cooper Flag and the Dallas Mavericks were running in both directions, some people were not optimistic about Flag's future in Dallas. He even strongly suggested that the Mavericks use the No. 1 pick in their hands to exchange Kevin Durant for the Suns. This person is former league's number one center DeMarcus Cousins! Recently, Cousins ​​talked about the Mavericks winning the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. Cousins ​​said: "KD is more suitable for the current Mavericks. Nick Harrison has publicly stated that he has a three-year championship window. Cooper Flag is not suitable for this three-year championship window, but Durant is suitable. Therefore, the Mavericks should completely consider using the No. 1 pick to trade Kevin Durant."

I have to admit that Cousins ​​really dares to give advice! If Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison really did this, it would undoubtedly push himself into the fire pit. You should know that after Harrison won the No. 1 pick, Mavericks fans finally changed their hatred towards him! Now that you want him to sign No. 1 pick for Durant, isn’t this move deliberately increasing the hatred of Mavericks fans towards Harrison? Unless Nico Harrison is completely crazy, he will not be so stupid as to win the Mavericks' No. 1 pick in exchange for the Suns' old Kevin Durant. Because next season, the Mavericks composed of Thick Eyebrow + Irving + Flag + Clay will surely cause storm in the Wild West! Why did he cause unnecessary trouble for himself?

Besides, Cooper Flagg is completely possible in the future to grow into the next appearance of the Dallas Mavericks! Therefore, there is no need for Nico Harrison to consider using the No. 1 pick to trade Kevin Durant, because it is almost certain that it will be a loss-making deal. What do you think about this?
