Matt Barnes: After Doncic s trade, the league will arrange for the Mavericks to win the No. 1 pick to choose Flag

Recently, former NBA player Matt Barnes participated in the podcast program "Big Boy 's The Hangout" and talked about Flag.

Barnes said: "I admire him very much, he is very talented. But I think the NBA has actually arranged for  —  after Doncic trade, it was ensured that Flag could join Dallas. This situation is like LeBron (James) returned to the Cavaliers and Ross was selected by Chicago. There must be something wrong with the lottery draws. I think the league is giving the Mavericks a green light."

"But at the same time, for a young player, it is crucial to join a stable team with veterans and leadership. Now, it depends on whether the new owners of the Mavericks can prove themselves  —  they have to show the ability to 'not mess up everything', after all, in the short time of taking over the team, they have done some questionable operations."
