On today's show, the Dallas Mavericks have tons of different scenarios they could get into in the NBA draft lottery. But I'll tell you, they're all good. This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Lockdown, Love, so all of them, all of five. I think that's a good question. Good morning, Isaac. All these changes. You know, I still got my dog Dwight Powell. You are Locked on Mad masks. Your daily Dallas Mavericks podcast. You're part of the Locked On Podcast Network. Your team every day. And welcome. You were locked on to the Dallas Mavericks. Your team every day. My name is Dick Engstead. Today's episode brought to you by Fanduel. The tournament is here.

Head to fendul.com to get started. Joining me, as always, my co-host,

the tournament, Titan. The one more thing, King. What you got from me, Isaac Harris?

0:51.0

That's the fun final four games this weekend. I mean, so many prospects. I mean, you could have, what, three top, you know, 10 picks maybe. I mean, I guess Lindaborgs pushing him, but like at least three lottery picks, maybe four lottery picks, count more as Johnson. It's just, and we're like, what, a little over a month away from the NBA draft lottery.

1:11.7

Oh my gosh, knowing.

1:12.8

What, five or six weeks?

1:14.6

Knowing what this whole season was for.

1:17.3

That is going to be one of the more like riveting draft lottery nights in a while.

1:23.6

We're planning on going.

1:25.4

We're hoping.

1:25.9

We're hoping everything all works out. We're hoping to be in the building for that. But we are here in the building right now talking about the Mavs, their lottery chances because there's so many different scenarios. I mean, millions of different chances. So I got three tankathon spins. I went in, did a simulation and said, all right, a real simulation of what could actually happen on NBA lottery night to figure out where the Mavericks could draft. I got three different scenarios will go through. Isaac doesn't know where the Mabs are in these, and so it'll be fun to go through each of them and talk about what the Mavs would be thinking in these different scenarios. Because I think the one takeaway I have just looking at the draft lottery and looking at where the Mavs are is they're going to get a good player no matter what. I feel like that's my takeaway a whole bunch in this. Like they're going to get a different level of good player, but this draft is so good. The lowest they could really get right now is nine. There's like a 0.2% chance that they could get 10. But one through nine, they're going to get a really good player

2:17.5

and a building block for this team going forward.

2:19.5

And so I think the draft lottery, no matter how it shakes out, it's going to be, you know, it's going to be good for the, for the Mavericks. They could drop a little bit. We'll talk about a scenario where the Mavs do drop a little bit later. But this first one I got for you, right out the gate.

2:35.5

My first spin.

2:37.7

My first spin.

2:38.0

I'm ready. Dallas Mavericks got the number one pick. Whoa. Sacramento Kings got number two.

2:44.6

Brooklyn Nets dropped down to one. Memphis up to four. So that's your top four. The Mabs, the

2:50.3

kings, the Nets, the Grizzlies, all awful teams. The Wizards drop down to five. This is the lowest that they can actually go. They're at five. The Pacers have to give up their pick to the Clippers. The Jazz are at seven, so we're happy about that. The Hawks or the Pelicans pick are at eight and then so on from there.

3:09.0

The Mavs land the number one pick right now, Isaac Harris.

3:11.5

Your pick is who?

3:13.1

AJ DeBantza.

3:15.2

That is the pick, man.
