Barring a league-altering trade, Cooper Flagg will be going to the Dallas Mavericks with the No. 1 pick in June's NBA Draft.
But a new announcement by the Duke freshman has New York Knicks fans already predicting Flagg to end up in blue and orange.
Flagg officially signed with CAA as his agency on Friday.

Why is that significant?
Because Knicks owner Leon Rose used to be a CAA agent.
Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby and Josh Hart are all CAA clients, too.
It's highly unlikely the Knicks could swing a trade to get the No. 1 pick now, unless KAT was involved.
But down the road, NYC might have an in with Flagg for his second contract.
That'd be a fitting stage for one of the best players to come out of college basketball in a long time. Flagg in the Big Apple sure sounds sweet.
