While many are penciling in the Mavs to select Cooper Flagg with the pick, which should not be surprising at all, I'd argue there's another path Dallas might be willing to consider. As outlandish as it may seem, there's a strong argument to be made that it would make more sense for the Mavs to trade the pick than it would be to take Flagg on draft night. Why it makes sense for the Mavs to trade the No.
