Mychal Thompson, father of Mavericks guard Klay Thompson and the radio color commentator for the Los Angeles Lakers, poked fun at the Mavs after they won the Draft Lottery, posting on X/Twitter "And the good thing is Luka will only be 31 [when] Dallas trades Coop to the Lakers in 5 years…"

It turned out to be a wild evening for Dallas Mavericks fans. After entering with just a 1.8% chance to win the NBA draft lottery, Dallas made history and secured the No. 1 overall pick. The favorite to be taken with the top selection? Duke superstar Cooper Flagg.
