The Anthony Davis era is over in Dallas barely a year after the Mavericks shocked the NBA by trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package headlined by the 10-time All-Star.
Having reoriented their roster around No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg, the Mavericks prioritized cap flexibility 12 months after former GM Nico Harrison argued that Davis' two-way stardom made him a better bet to lead a Dallas championship run than Doncic. This trade sheds the remaining $120 million on Davis' contract and brings in some late first-round picks.
