Remember last season, when the Dallas Mavericks made the NBA Finals, led by top-5 superstar Luka Donu010diu0107? Yeah, Mavericks fans might need to cling to that for a while, because things are about to get ugly.
The Nico Harrison-led organization lost to the Memphis Grizzlies in Friday night's play-in game, meaning their season is now officially over, and not unofficially over as it had been since Feb. 2.
The 2024-25 season will go down in history as a self-inflicted nightmare for Dallas, where a newfound priority of defense, and low body fat percentages, convinced them to execute arguably the worst trade of all time, moving Donu010diu0107 for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a single first-round selection.
