The Dallas Mavericks fell to 0-2 on Friday night with a 10-point loss to the Washington Wizards at home, and what Mavs fans didn't realize is that one of the pieces from their 2019 trade with the New York Knicks for Kristaps Porzingis destroyed them.

The Mavericks desperately needed a win after being dismantled by the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday evening, but many of the same issues persisted on both ends of the floor.
