A new NBA rumor claims that the Dallas Mavericks won’t consider trading the No. 1 pick in the draft, even if Giannis Antetokounmpo could be acquired with the valuable asset.

Antetokounmpo is a two-time MVP, a one-time Finals MVP, a one-time Defensive Player of the Year and a nine-time All-Star. He has spent his entire career with the Bucks.

The Dallas Mavericks are fully committed to drafting Cooper Flagg with their No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft, despite speculation about trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Nico Harrison's recent history hasn't inspired a lot of confidence among the fanbase or those around the NBA, so while all of the recent chatter has been that they'll keep the pick, people still want to see them make a trade for a superstar like Giannis Antetokounmpo.

According to a report by ESPN's Shams Charania, following another early playoff exit for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, the star is considering potential teams that might be a better fit for him outside of Milwaukee. This has sparked speculation about where he could end up next season.

Not even Nico Harrison would trade the Dallas Mavericks' number one overall pick for a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Mavericks have yet to publicly broadcast this position with loud volume, but all the behind-the-scenes whispers continue to suggest that they will refuse to entertain the idea of fielding

The Golden State Warriors have a chance, however slim, of trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason. Should the Milwaukee Bucks make him available, almost every team in the NBA is expected to put forward their best offer.

When the Dallas Mavericks won the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery, it was seen as a historic stroke of fortune. But according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, it may also be the ticket to a long-standing dream: bringing Giannis Antetokounmpo to Dallas.

The basketball gods have blessed the Dallas Mavericks with the opportunity to acquire Cooper Flagg and they are not going to fumble that chance, it seems.
