Believe it or not! The Mavericks in the new season will be the most powerful contender for the championship!

On the NBA stage, there are never a shortage of miracles and surprises. At the 2025 draft lottery conference, the Dallas Mavericks became the biggest lucky one, winning the No. 1 pick with an extremely low probability of 1.8%. This result instantly made the entire league structure full of variables, and also made the Mavericks in the new season a strong contender for the championship.

Hold the No. 1 pick, and the Mavericks will most likely win over the superstar Cooper Flag, known as "White James". This talented small forward from Duke University beat all sides in the NCAA field and performed extremely well on both offense and defense. He averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists per game, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals, with a shooting percentage of 48.1% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.5%. His arrival will perfectly fill the Mavericks' weakest forward line, injecting fresh blood and strong vitality into the team.

At that time, the Mavericks will have three top picks, Irving, Anthony Davis and Flagg, forming a three-man combination that shocks the league. As the top defender in the league, Irving has unsolved ball control skills and key ball skills. Even though he was absent from injury for a long time last season, as long as he returns healthy, he can set off a frenzy on the offensive end and tear his opponent's defense. Anthony Davis, an inside gate with an offense and defense, has absolute dominance in the inside, rich offensive means, and can protect the basket and assist in defense on the defensive end, which is a solid guarantee for the team's inside. Coupled with Flag with unlimited potential, the three of them joined forces, the Mavericks' offensive firepower is terrifying, and the opponent will lose sight of one and the other when defending, and it is hard to defend.

The Mavericks' lineup depth should not be underestimated around the Big Three. The joining of Klay Thompson has upgraded the team's outside firepower again. This "Sheng God" has a historically high three-point shooting ability. Once the touch feels hot, it can make a "splash" outside the three-point line and quickly open the score for the team. PJ-Washington, Rifley, Gafford and others also have outstanding strengths and can contribute to the team in their respective positions and play an important role in rebounding protection, inside offense, defensive confrontation, etc.

Not only that, the Mavericks' coaching team is also strong. As the team's head coach, Jason Kidd was a historical point guard when he was a player. After serving as a coach, he cultivated superstars like Doncic with his rich game experience and excellent tactical arrangement skills, and led the Mavericks to the 2024 Finals. Now facing a group of stars such as Irving, Davis, Flag, etc., Kidd will definitely be able to teach according to his aptitude and develop an effective tactical system to stimulate the players' maximum potential and enable the team to achieve the best chemical reaction.

From the perspective of schedule, although the competition among NBA teams in the new season is still fierce, the Mavericks' schedule is relatively reasonable, and there is enough time for the team to adjust their lineup and adjust their state. The early schedule is relatively easy, allowing the Big Three and the new players to gradually become familiar with each other and find the rhythm of the game; and when facing the strong team in the middle and late stages, the team has already matured and has the ability to compete with one.

Of course, the road to the championship is not a smooth road, and other teams are also constantly strengthening. For example, the Thunder have many potential new stars, and the Nuggets have MVP Jokic in charge. They are all strong opponents on the Mavericks' road to winning the championship. But the Mavericks' lineup talent and team strength are enough to make them stand out among the many competitors. In the new season, let us wait and see to witness the Mavericks launch an attack on the championship and write their legendary chapter!
