It was always a gamble. I knew it. You knew it. Luka Doncic knew it. And deep down, Anthony Davis probably knew it too. This was the type of move that would make a seasoned bookie think twice. Nico Harrison pressed the red button and initiated the most mind-boggling trade in NBA history, and now the Dallas Mavericks are paying for it at the worst time.
Davis is an all-time talent when he’s fully engaged and healthy. But his ability to take his fans on an emotional rollercoaster is second to none. Anytime Davis winces on the court, the Dallas fans hold their bated breath praying that he’s ok.
