The Mavs had just came off a finals run, had a 25 year old megastar not yet in his prime, one of the best #2’s in the league, an athletic rim running defensive 2nd year center who is a perfect complement to your star player, a versatile 2-way 4 about to hit his prime, a hall of fame veteran SG with championship experience who wanted to be here, a top 3 starting lineup in net rating, one of the best backup centers in the league, and a very good supporting cast around the edges.
And one power hungry ego maniac (Nick Harrison) fucked it all up.
The Mavs organization has spent 6+ years building a team SPECIFICALLY around Luka Doncic.
The moment that team became a legit championship contender, they traded him away.
73 point game.
WCF MVP.
Rookie of the year.
Finals appearance.
Scoring champion.
Highest PPG in Mavs history.
Loved the city.
Only here for 6 years and was already the 2nd greatest Maverick ever.
Thank you for everything, Luka.
We will always love you in Dallas 💙
