Episode Details

A rumor about the NBA Draft Lottery has sparked major controversy (again...), with questions swirling about whether the process is rigged, especially after the Dallas Mavericks landed Cooper Flagg with just a 1.8% chance of getting the #1 pick. Dive deep into the Mavs’ tanking strategies, the impact on the team’s future, and how Kyrie Irving, Mark Cuban, and the rest of the NBA shape the conversation around draft fairness and league operations.

Hosted by Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit), this episode explores the Dallas Mavericks’ approach to rebuilding, Mark Cuban’s candid thoughts on tanking and fan experience, and the ongoing adjustments for the Mavs following the Kyrie Irving situation. Join the discussion as Nick Angstadt unpacks narratives about NBA conspiracies, the structure of the Draft Lottery, and how rookie contracts like Cooper Flagg's give teams an edge. The episode also references other teams and players including the Utah Jazz, Toronto Raptors, and Miami Heat, as well as figures like Jason Kidd. Tune in to hear a breakdown of the future for the Mavs and what Cooper Flagg means in this new era.
