Goodbye Doncic! Congratulations to Kidd! The Mavericks made a big signing, and the future of the three No. 1 picks is promising

In the wild NBA, the strong in the west and weak in the east has a long history. In the words of NBA reporter Chris Mannix, 14 of the 15 teams in the Western Conference hope to make the playoffs, and at least 8 teams believe they can go further in the playoffs. However, there are only a handful of truly competitive teams in the Eastern Conference. Most Western Conference team executives are complaining that the balance of the league is too poor. That's right, the Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers, Timberwolves, Warriors and many other teams in the Western Conference are armed to the teeth. If they don't win the championship, they will fail! The Dallas Mavericks are better than they are. After losing Doncic, they now have the three No. 1 picks. Their strength cannot be underestimated! Next, let us take a look at the level of this Mavericks team!

Goodbye Doncic, the Mavericks broke their wrists

When Dirk handed the torch to Doncic, Cuban, Dirk and thousands of fans knew that Dallas had found a new driver. Doncic himself was eager to lead the Mavericks to regain glory like Dirk, one person and one city. Doncic is indeed an unparalleled talent. He has been selected to the All-NBA Team for five consecutive years. He has led the Mavericks back to the playoffs, the Western Conference Finals and the Finals step by step, and is only one championship away from becoming a legend. But what's the result? However, the Mavericks quietly completed an epic deal with the Lakers in the middle of last season, sending Doncic away and getting the Lakers' thick eyebrows + Christie + 2029 first-round pick.

The Mavericks broke his wrist and said goodbye to Doncic in an almost cheap sale. The whole world was in an uproar and everyone was in danger. In Antetokounmpo's words, even if Doncic can be traded, who in this league is still safe? After Doncic left, the thick-browed Mavericks suffered an injury in his first career. Irving carried everything but unfortunately suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and had to undergo surgery and was reimbursed for the season early. In the end, the Mavericks only achieved a record of 39 wins and 43 losses, ranking 10th in the Western Conference. They were eliminated by the Grizzlies in the play-offs and missed the playoffs. From the overall runner-up to missing the playoffs, the Mavericks fell miserably. This can be regarded as the retribution they deserve for selling Doncic at a low price.

Flagg was so happy that the Mavericks made a big signing

The Mavericks' good luck began in the first round of the 2025 lottery. They won the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% probability, setting a new record in NBA history. There is no suspense. The Mavericks used the No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft to bring Flagg's talent to Dallas. If anyone can replace Doncic as the new cornerstone of the Mavericks in the future, it can only be Flagg. Who makes him the new son of America? Recently, the NBA official website released the results of the annual general manager survey. When it comes to which rookie will become the best player in five years, Flagg is far ahead of everyone with 93% of the votes!

Flagg was so happy that the Mavericks made a big signing during the offseason and used real money to upgrade and strengthen the lineup. First, the Mavericks extended Gafford's contract for three years and US$54 million to ensure his starting center position, and the thick eyebrows can return to the comfort zone of the fourth position without any worries; then, the Mavericks signed Russell with a two-year, US$13 million contract to deal with Irving's injury; finally, the Mavericks gave P.J. Washington a four-year US$90 million contract extension to stock up on forward talent. Every signing made by the Mavericks is very cost-effective, and there is overflowing talent inside and forward. When Irving returns, this team will become a big trouble in the Western World and even the entire NBA.

Congratulations to Kidd, the future of the three-overall lineup is promising.

The Mavericks' 18-man lineup has been released, as follows: Inside - Lively + Gafford + Powell, forward - Big Eyebrow + Flagg + PJ Washington + Marshall + Martin, back line - Irving + Townsend + Russell + Christie + Exum + Hardy + Kelly (two-way contract) + Nembhard (two-way contract). Overall, congratulations to Kidd. He no longer has to worry about losing Doncic. The Mavericks' three-championship lineup is the best consolation. This Mavericks has current stars and future stars. If they can win now, the future will be even more promising! I hope Irving will recover soon, I wish my thick eyebrows to stay healthy, and I also hope that Flagg can grow up quickly. If the Mavericks' third No. 1 pick can one day stage a three-game battle with Lu Bu on the pinnacle stage of the Western Conference Finals with Doncic, it will definitely become the most beautiful love-hate relationship in the NBA world!
