Dallas owned a 26-23 record before general manager Nico Harrison made the shocking decision to trade superstar Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for a package centered around Davis. Fans and pundits called out Harrison during the Mavericks' postseason exit.

If they were going to do so, it would be because of a big game from Mavericks star Anthony Davis. The centerpiece of the viral deal that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, Davis has struggled to stay on the floor since arriving in Dallas.

Davis scored 40 points, but he also missed valuable time in the second half with an injury. That's the AD experience in a nutshell. He's a brilliant talent when he's on the floor. But this is the same guy who got injured in his literal first game with the Mavericks after the trade that shocked the NBA.
