The Sacramento Kings and the Dallas Mavericks have been linked for many years and for many reasons. In the late 90s and early 00s, the two franchises competed fiercely in the playoffs, with Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, and Mike Bibby leading the way for Sacramento, and Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, and Michael Finley starring for Dallas. More recently, the former rivals were once again connected when the Kings selected Marvin Bagley III second overall, leaving heralded prospect Luka Doncic on the board for the Mavericks to snatch up.
