The Mavericks won the NBA draft lottery with a 1.8% chance of doing so, launching a sea of conspiracy accusations against the league office. Nic Barlage, CEO of the 4-time lottery-winning Cavaliers says Cooper Flagg to Dallas is a lucky draw, not a setup. He also unpacks Cleveland’s best regular season since 2009, despite facing a 3–1 playoff deficit to the Pacers.
Plus, Jayson Tatum’s injury could end this era of Celtics basketball as the team sale is completed, pricing details of ESPN’s flagship streaming service emerge, and the Connecticut Sun are seeking new ownership.
