When the Dallas Mavericks traded away Luka Doncic on February 1 for Anthony Davis and Max Christie, it was a clear sign to the league that the Mavericks are ready to commit to size and defense. With Davis playing in Dallas, it gave him the perfect opportunity to play alongside centers Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II, but due to multiple injuries, the Mavericks' jumbo lineup would quickly disappear into a dream.
While Lively II, Gafford, and Davis would eventually return fully healthy by the end of the regular season, it wouldn't make a difference, and fans are still wondering what Dallas' jumbo lineup might look like.
