Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić has broken his silence following his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, winning the NBA Draft Lottery and securing the No. 1 overall pick likely to be used on top prospect Cooper Flagg.
Dončić, who spent the first part of his NBA career with the Mavericks before a blockbuster trade sent him to the Lakers earlier this season, took to social media to share his reaction. In an Instagram story, he posted a photo of himself in a Lakers jersey with the caption: “Timing is everything,” alongside a cryptic eye emoji.
The Mavericks shocked the NBA world by jumping ahead in the lottery odds to grab the top pick. The franchise is now in position to select Flagg, the 17-year-old sensation who has been drawing comparisons to NBA greats for his maturity, elite defense, and versatility.
Though Dončić is now focused on leading the Lakers’ championship push, many fans couldn’t help but wonder how different things might have been if he had remained in Dallas. The potential pairing of Dončić and Flagg could have been one of the most exciting duos in recent NBA history.
Still, Dončić’s subtle post suggests no hard feelings. He remains closely watched in Los Angeles, where he’s taken on a leadership role and elevated the team’s offense since his arrival.
Meanwhile, in Dallas, excitement is at an all-time high. With the opportunity to draft a generational talent like Flagg, the Mavericks are poised for a new era—one that will begin without their former franchise cornerstone but with a fresh face ready to lead.
The NBA Draft is set for next month, and all eyes will be on Dallas to see if they make Flagg the future of their franchise.
