Bad news hit the doorstep of every Dallas Mavericks fan on Friday evening when it was announced that superstar Anthony Davis may need to miss the next few months after sustaining ligament damage in his hand against the Utah Jazz. This news not only throws a wrench in the Mavericks' potential trade of Davis, but it likely means the team will now focus on tanking and acquiring a better draft pick, which may mean a fan-favorite forward could be on the chopping block.
