The Dallas Mavericks gave the NBA one of the biggest surprises in league history when they traded Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers in February. When they won the NBA Draft lottery on Monday, fans wondered if Nico Harrison might have an encore in mind.

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.

As MacMahon noted, "Sources told ESPN that Patrick Dumont, who just finished his first year as the Mavs' governor, considers the opportunity to be in position to draft a generational talent like Flagg a 'gift.' While Dumont has given Harrison great leeway to run basketball operations, the governor has final decision on all personnel matters."
