The emergence of Dallas Mavericks’ rookie Luka Doncic has altered everything about the organization.
Most notably, it has inspired the Mavs to make the moves to build a roster to complement their star rookie and return the team to a title contender sooner rather than later.
Wednesday night’s trade of Harrison Barnes to the Sacramento Kings for Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph opens up a massive amount of cash for the Mavs to go after another top free agent or two in July.
The move came just five days after they acquired former All-Star Kristaps Porzingis in a seven-player trade with the New York Knicks.
