Suns' Kevin Durant issues 8-word post after shocking NBA Draft Lottery results

The Dallas Mavericks secured the 1st-overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft despite only having a 1.8% chance. Craig Carton, Danny Parkins, and Mark Schlereth discuss the conspiracies surrounding this selection after the Mavericks traded away Luka Doncic.

Chicago hosted the NBA's annual draft lottery on Monday night. Despite entering the lottery with just 1.8% odds, the Dallas Mavericks landed the top selection for this year's upcoming draft.

But the Mavericks were not the only franchise to experience some unexpected good fortune in Chicago. The San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia 76ers also landed the rights to picks in the top three. The night's surprising events prompted a strong response from Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant.
