Having beaten long odds to win the top pick in next month's NBA draft -- and blessed with an obvious candidate to become the No. 1 selection -- the Dallas Mavericks reportedly aren't planning to use it as a trade chip.

General manager Nico Harrison now has a lifeline to salvage something special out of dealing Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and conspiracy theorists have new data points to put up on their corkboards.
"After making the biggest leap in NBA draft lottery history to land the No. 1 overall pick, the Dallas Mavericks plan to select Duke forward Cooper Flagg and will not entertain the possibility of trading away the pick for a proven superstar, sources told ESPN," the report reads.
