The NBA lottery draw gave birth to three winners, the Rockets chased Antetokounmpo and "unfavorable"

On May 13, the NBA playoffs are in full swing this season, and those teams who are determined to compete for the championship are still making every effort to advance to the division finals, while some teams with slightly less strength are focusing on trade reinforcements and the upcoming draft. Early in the morning, The Ringer famous Bill Simmons revealed that the Lakers will definitely trade Reeves this summer to use this to improve the lineup's defense and improve the strength of the inside. The Knicks are Reeves' biggest potential next home. In addition, NBA famous reporters revealed that the Bucks core Antetokounmpo was considering leaving Milwaukee for the first time in his career. The first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years, coupled with Lillard's serious injury, made the Greek monster unable to see the hope of leading the Bucks to the top of the league again. If he applies to leave the team, it will inevitably trigger a crazy fight among the league teams. A team with certain combat effectiveness and high picks and potential new stars are expected to become Antetokounmpo's next home. In contrast, Durant's deal is in a deserted state, and the Suns are asking for him. Although Durant is interested in joining Houston, his age at 36 is out of place with the playing style of young people like the Rockets.

However, the most lively and controversial thing today was the lottery ceremony. Before the NBA lottery draw began, media data websites showed that the probability of winning the No. 1 pick in teams such as Jazz, Wizards and Hornets was as high as 14%. Among the second-placed Rockets in the West, there was also a Suns lottery, and the probability of winning the No. 1 pick was also 3.8%. But unexpectedly, the final result was shocking. The Mavericks, who just sent Doncic to the Lakers, won the first pick, the Spurs won the second pick, and the Philadelphia 76ers won the third pick, the Hornets had the fourth pick, the Jazz had the fifth pick, the Wizards had the sixth pick, the Pelicans had the seventh pick, the Nets had the eighth pick, the Raptors had the ninth pick, the Rockets had the 10th pick, the Trail Blazers had the 11th pick, the Bulls had the 12th pick, the Hawks had the 13th pick, and the Spurs had the 14th pick.

The most controversial one is the Mavericks. They won the No. 1 pick with an ultra-low probability of 1.8%, which is the biggest winner of this lottery ceremony. This good luck undoubtedly makes the Mavericks hope to form a luxury Big Three lineup of Irving, Davis and Flag in the new season. The Mavericks who got the No. 1 pick are very likely to choose the popular No. 1 pick Flag. Born in 2006, Flag is 2.06 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.24 meters, and a running and jumping of 1.11 meters. He is talented. Because of this, it is generally believed that he has basically locked in the position of No. 1 in the NBA in 2025. Flag's ability to stand out from many talented young players is not only due to his top basketball talent and athleticism, but also his high level of self-discipline. Suns star Booker once commented on Flag: "He has extremely high requirements for himself, and you can truly feel his strong desire to become stronger." Therefore, outstanding talent and never admit defeat have made Flag a cornerstone of the ideal reconstruction in the eyes of many teams, which is also the reason why many teams are willing to play for him this season.

Interestingly, in the WNBA draw, Dallas Wings drew the No. 1 pick and then chose Page Bux away. The media joked that Dallas' lucky year was also Adam and Silver who compensated Dallas. They gave Doncic to the Lakers, giving the league a post-James-era successor and a position as a storefront. In addition to the Mavericks' great joy, the Spurs and the 76ers are also winners. After the 76ers won the No. 3 pick, they not only retained their own signing position, but also added another real-time combat power in the new season. The Spurs were even more happy to get the second draw. After Antetokounmpo wanted to leave the Bucks, the Spurs became one of the potential next players in pursuit of Antetokounmpo, and this second draw was undoubtedly very attractive to the Bucks.

However, the Houston Rockets seemed a little disappointed. They wanted to draw the top three picks and then stand out from the team pursuing Antetokounmpo. The Rockets now have many potential new stars. Stone said that if they can pursue superstars, the team has no non-sale products. If the Rockets get a high pick, it will increase their bargaining chips to convince the Bucks to release them. If Antetokounmpo, who can successfully trade with the team's strong combat power while retaining core players, improves the team's decisive ability, the Houston Rockets are expected to become a strong contender for the championship in the new season. However, the Rockets were unlucky and only won the 10th pick. They want to pursue Antetokounmpo, and it seems that they need to send Amen Thompson away to impress the Bucks management.
