The Dallas Mavericks acquired Luka Doncic in a draft-night trade in 2018. He immediately changed the franchise’s trajectory. They went from rebuilding to playoff contender as Doncic blossomed into a superstar. He is the youngest player in NBA history to make first-team All-NBA twice. The Mavs need to improve the roster around him if they are going keep Luka happy.
It has been a week of turmoil for the franchise. Their leadership stability crumbled with the departures of both Donnie Nelson and Rick Carlisle.
