The Mavs Win the Draft Lottery — But Should They Flip Flagg for Giannis?

Let’s stop playing for a second and ask the real question:

Should the Mavs package the No. 1 pick for Giannis?

...OR...

Does Giannis even want to go to Dallas?

Look, I’m not trying to throw shade on Dallas. They just pulled off a straight-up basketball heist, jumping 10 spots with just a 1.8% chance to win the No. 1 pick.

Cooper Flagg is sitting there like a golden ticket from Willy Wonka’s factory. And after trading Luka Dončić, they need a new face of the franchise ASAP.

But here’s the thing...

I TRULY BELIEVE THE BEST FIT FOR GIANNIS IS SAN ANTONIO.

Yeah, I said it.

I don’t care what Dallas does with this pick — if the Spurs get serious, it’s a wrap.

That’s the move.

That’s the dynasty.

That’s the basketball Avengers forming in Texas.

Picture this:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo

• Victor Wembanyama

• De’Aaron Fox

• ...and oh yeah, the Spurs have the No. 2 pick too.

That’s not just a superteam — that’s a superproblem for the entire NBA.

Now let’s not forget — Giannis reportedly wants to go somewhere with no state income tax.

Texas, come on down! 

But here’s the difference: in Dallas, you’ve got questions.

In San Antonio, you’ve got Wemby. Pop. Culture. Legacy. Structure.

Oh, and maybe one of the best up-and-coming bigs the league has ever seen.

Giannis doesn’t need to carry anymore. He already dragged Milwaukee to a title. He wants to win without doing everything himself.

And teaming up with Wemby and Fox?

SHEESH.

🧠 SO WHAT SHOULD DALLAS DO?

If you’re the Mavs, you absolutely pick up the phone and call Milwaukee.

Cooper Flagg might become a superstar. But Giannis is already that guy. If you can pair him with what you’ve already got brewing in Dallas, you pull the trigger.

But if Giannis doesn’t pick up the phone?

If his eyes are set on San Antonio?

Then Dallas better hope Cooper turns into KD overnight, because once Giannis and Wemby link up?

It’s over for the league.
