The NBA's competitive battle this season is gradually coming to an end, and the championship race has entered a white-hot stage. On the stage of the Finals, the Pacers temporarily suppressed the Thunder, the favorite, with a 2-1 lead. The Pacers' competitiveness, squad depth and Haliburton's outstanding performance in key moments have all shown their desire for a championship. The Thunder, while strong, seem to be a little impatient in the league. Alexander, while a good player, struggled to earn enough respect due to his lack of playmaking and a lack of playmaking skills, including a much-maligned foul set.

At the same time, the fortunes of other teams are changing dramatically. Last season's championship-winning Celtics, while still going strong, have become a huge burden on their path with salary pressures. Anyone on the team other than Tatum could be the subject of a trade. The Cavaliers and Rockets, two teams that performed well in the regular season, looked incapable of doing so on the playoff stage. The Rockets lacked a scoring point that could make the difference between a game and a game, while the Cavaliers looked isolated in the playoffs.

The Suns are desperate to send Durant away, whether it's to rebuild or bolster the team's assets. Their parting of ways with Durant seems to be a foregone conclusion. In this year's draft, not only China's Yang Hansen is expected to enter the NBA, but also young talents such as Flagg, Harper, and Iris Bailey are about to join the stage. The Mavericks, as the team that got the top pick, have confirmed the plan to select Flagg, and the draft template known as the "white skin James" has undoubtedly become the focus of the whole league.

As we discuss the future of the Mavericks, a key question emerges: Will the team win the championship next season or will it be a mess? Flagg is undoubtedly a talented player, but can he lead the team to a championship as a rookie? Even the strongest players struggle to do that. Wembanyama's precedent has proven that teams led by a rookie core often struggle to do well. It's not just about Flagg and Bushy Eyebrow's match, it's also about Irving's serious injury and Bushy Eyebrow's high-salary contract.

Irving's cruciate ligament tear will take at least a year to recover, leaving him uncertain in his future games. And Thick Eyebrows' salary next season is as high as $57.6 million, ranking third in the league. However, since Bushy Eyebrow came to the Mavericks, his injury problems have been bothering him. From the Achilles tendon to the groin, from the thigh to the hamstring, his body is getting heavier and heavier. At the same time, his role gradually became awkward. Although he was once the heart of the team, now he has to make room for Flagg.

Making room for Flagg is a need for the team, but it also means that Bush is gradually becoming an outsider. His future is full of uncertainties and challenges. His fitness, age, and fit with the team's framework will all be key factors in whether he can continue to shine in the NBA in the future. For the Mavericks, they will need to face a series of challenges and decisions while keeping the team competitive. They need to find a balance that will allow the team to continue to develop and succeed in the future.

Overall, the NBA is always full of variables and surprises. Every team is fighting hard for the championship, and every player is fighting for their dreams. Who will be the NBA champion this season? Let's wait and see!
