Do the Dallas Mavericks have any intention of trading the #1 pick?

Here's the "answer" from Dallas Mavs CEO Rick Welts...


"That's a great question for Nico Harrison"

This answer is terrifying. Although, Welts has nothing to do with the basketball side of the operations, so he has no say. He's deflecting, not because I think he's trying to cover up Nico attempting to trade the pick, but because he literally has no say or intel from that side.

MacMahon, Stein, and even Cato went straight to Dumont and was told that the Mavs are emphatically picking Flagg with the #1 pick. I don't think Nico has free reign anymore after the fallout from the Luka trade and the financial ramifications from it.

Tim MacMahon:

“Patrick Dumont, the governor of the Dallas Mavericks, recognizes the gift horse that was delivered to this franchise… The Dallas Mavericks will be picking Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick.”
