On today's show, the Dallas Mavericks' best and worst-case draft scenarios are extremely far apart. This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Lockdown Mall. So all of them is all 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 Madge. Your daily Dallas Mavericks podcast. It's part of the Locked On Podcast Network. I still can't be able.

Joining me, as always, my co-host, the AZ Fudd friend, the one more thing king. What you got for me, Isaac Harris? That threw me off a little bit. Welcome, welcome to Dallas, AZ. Let's go. I'm ready. Can we get some

wings basketball started? I think that's what's desperately needed, right? Their training

camp starts pretty soon. Their games will start like in the beginning of May, so it's going to happen

soon. Today's episode for the maps, though, we're going to talk about, we're going to make,

I'm going to make three, maybe four tankathon spins, lottery spins to show the breadth, the width, the depth of the different kind of options the Mavericks are going to have. And the lottery will depend, like, will determine a lot of things for the Dallas Mavericks. We'll talk about that. We'll do one where it ends up badly for the Mavericks, one where it ends up great for the Mavericks, one where it ends up where they're going to have an interesting choice.

And so let's start with my... We'll do one where it ends up badly for the Mavericks, one where it ends up great for the Mavericks,

one where it ends up where they're going to have an interesting choice. And so let's start with my very first spin of the day. I put this one in the Discord. Shout out to everybody in the Discord that joins and talks every day. We have some fun in there. There and in the text line, links in the description for that. and my very first spin of the day, the Dallas Mavericks come to, and I don't think Isaac's seen any of these.

I have not. Number two in the NBA draft. I think this is the most ethical spin you can actually get that's real. So the Sacramento Kings end up one where they actually won a bunch of games. They were eight and nine at the end of the season. They were actually trying to win games. The Mavs are in second. They rise up the highest here. Brooklyn stays in 3. Memphis rises to 4. That one maybe not as ethical. They really tanked it out, but that's fine. Only going to 4. Washington falls to four. Washington falls to five.

They tanked a ton.

The clippers get the Pacers picks.

The Pacers tank a bunch of games and the Clippers get the pick at six. The Clippers actually try at the end of the season and they get a pick. So that's ethical there. The Utah falls to seven, which I'm a fan of. And then maybe the most important part,

OKC stays at 12 with that Clippers pick.

And so I think that's a very important one. But if the Dallas Mavericks land at two Isaac and the Sacramento Kings are one, when we do these tank-a-thon spins, we usually just go through and say, all right, who would pick who? So if you're the Sacramento Kings, before we talk about the Maverick side, who do you pick if you're the Kings? I mean, with the Kings, it's such a blank slate, right?

Like, I mean with the Kings it's such a blank slate right like I mean or it should be

you know you're not avoiding anybody if you want Boozer and you're the Kings it doesn't

matter if you have subonis if you want Darren Peterson it doesn't matter if you have Zach Levine. If you want Darren Peterson, it doesn't matter if you have

Zach Levine or whoever else on your roster. So I think for them, it's just you take best

player available and build around that guy. I would take AJ DeBonson. Will they take AJ

Abonsonzo? Because I would as well. I think he's the best player. I don't think it's really

close as I've been looking at it more and more. Is it close for the Kings, though? When the Kings just look at, all right, well, we have to take a star type player and is Booser, a bigger star than what Tobanza is, is Booser, the Zig, while everybody else is zagging when it comes to like a, you know, a bigger, a bigger four, but can't play center, slower guy. And he's like, maybe we'll take him and he'll be, you know, what Sabonis should have been for us or what Yokic ended up being. I wonder if they'll, I wonder if the Kings will overthink a pick like this. But let's just for now. The Kings overthinking? No. Maybe it's under, maybe it's under thinking. Every time I think of the Kings, I think of that ringer documentary they did one time where it was the draft. It wasn't like 2013 or something. And they just had Vivek look around the table and he was like Stouskas, Stouskas, Stouskis. Stoucest. And every single person in the war room and was like, should we pick Nick Stouskas?

Soska Steele?
