NBA Draft Lottery: Cooper Flagg Will Change Everything

The winner of the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft lottery will receive a golden ticket for the next sure thing in Cooper Flagg … or perhaps Giannis Antetokounmpo? Baker Machado and Renee Washington discuss the implications of tonight’s event and why some teams with the top odds may be better off using Flagg as a trade chip for an established superstar.

Plus, ESPN’s Matt Miller explains why mock drafts in the NFL mean just as much to teams as they do to fans. Also, Michael Jordan is joining NBC’s NBA coverage, the NFL season starts with a bang, and President Trump agrees to temporarily slash tariffs on Chinese goods.
