The Dallas Mavericks had been one of the most successful teams in the NBA last season. With their finals appearance, the Mavericks were touted as one of the favorites coming into this season. The most important factor in making the Mavericks look like a champion side was none other than Luka Doncic. Doncic was a phenomenal superstar, getting his team out of trouble on numerous occasions.
Unfortunately, the Dallas authorities somehow decided to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. It was one of the biggest shockers, and since Doncic left, the Mavericks have been a depleted side. At the moment, the Mavericks are languishing in 11th place in the West. With 34 wins and 37 losses, the Mavericks have painted a sorry picture for themselves.

At the moment, trying to get a play-in spot, the Mavericks are tied with the Phoenix Suns for the 10th best. Considering the fact that the likes of Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving are injured, the Mavericks advancing to the next level will only create more problems for the team.
As of now, they can go back to the drawing board and regroup, hoping that Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis will be back in full flow next season. Speaking of Davis, he had already given his message to the Mavericks’ fans.

“I know the whole the city was down because of the Luka thing. At the same time, you know, I know who I am as a player. I’m top 75 of all time, and I just want to let the Dallas fans like, ‘hey, I got you, I’m here now.’ So, like, I know you lost a,superstar Luka, but you also gain a superstar myself,” Davis stated.
