BREAKING: The Mavs Got EVERYTHING They Wanted in an Anthony Davis Trade, Just Not at a High Level
The Dallas Mavericks pulled off a massive trade, sending Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards and setting up the Mavs to build around Cooper Flagg. This NBA trade shakes up the league, creating new flexibility for the Mavericks as they look to maximize their assets around stars like Kyrie Irving and rising talents.
Locked On Mavs hosts Nick Angstadt and Isaac Harris break down every aspect of the Anthony Davis blockbuster trade, what it means for the Dallas Mavericks’ future, and how expiring contracts, young players like AJ Johnson and Malaki Branham, and valuable NBA Draft picks set up the team for a new era. The hosts also discuss the impact on D’Angelo Russell, Jason Kidd, Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, Naji Marshall, and the potential roles of Mark Cuban and Patrick Dumont in the trade’s strategy. Key Western Conference teams, the Wizards’ acquisition of Trey Young, and the outlook for Cooper Flagg as the Mavs’ franchise cornerstone are also covered in detail.

Khris Middleton is a star. .And don't sleep on Bagley😂🎉
The other FRP is top-20 protected in 2030, when Steph Curry would be in his 21st season at 41. If it falls in 1-20, it becomes a 2nd. So we could be looking at 5 2nd round draft picks, essentially. I am just glad that the FRO didn't get stuck in a sunk-cost fallacy based on what they gave up to get AD and just realize getting anything was better than holding on to him.
Giannis loading… Kidd, Middleton. Time to force that trade to Dallas.
Gotta note Wiz been giving us deals the past few years
KP – gave us assets to get Kyrie
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson – gve us Gaff who was a big factor on us reaching the Finals that year
Now taking on Anthony "When healthy" Day-to-Davis, Dlo , Exum, and hardy contracts giving us cap flexibility
I'm just glad they kept Christie. That's a core piece right there.
KP had a relatively healthy season in Washington after being traded from Dallas. Hope it will be the same for AD.
Nico fleeced the team skinless and he’s not even there anymore.
sigh. what could’ve been. but from a franchise management standpoint, this was a great job
As a Lakers fan, I feel bad for my man AD gettin passed around like a good time.
This is why Dallas will never win another championship
“Home run” for a bag of chips. So funny.
Official request to make Isaac's "ITS PART OF THE GAME" a sound byte.
Dang imagine if the nba did not gift the number 1 pick to the mavs after that didsster of a trade lol
From the 2018 #3 pick (Luka) to the 2018 #2 pick (Bagley). Adding more salt to the wound. Just kidding.
Anthony Davis cup of coffee in Dallas was not fun for me.
AJ doesn’t have a confidence problem at all. He just needs Kidd to develop him. He is extremely athletic. Let him run the floor with Flagg!!!
Why not wait until the summer? This is literally selling at the bottom value.
Lol Dude is ready to gloat. I'm happy for Isaac all his dreams have come true.
So you idi ots can now shut up about luka and the trade now, right?
We probably got a last pick of the first round and four second round picks because the Warriors pick is top 20 protected or it becomes the GS 2nd rounder. If the pick were this year's we wouldn't get the 1st round pick. Do you think the Warriors will be better in four years?
He doesn't care, he just wanted a feather in the cap against Nico.
Put it together Mavs! Still got great potential.
Lol Mavs went from FINALS to Lottery team in 2 yrs 😅 thx Nico Harris lmfao Thunder ⛈️ Up fam 😂
Terrible trade, worse than luka trade
How long it’s gone take for the Mavs to be contenders again? Bout 9 years?
What's next for Kyrie and Klay? They need a team who can compete for a chip.
LET IT RIDE😋🥳
Im gonna miss Jaden Hardy he was one of my favorite mavs
We traded Luka for a bag of brittle bones, and some leftover skin flakes
Did we forget how LETHAL Middleton can be? I predict that he'll work well with Klay
Dam, ok i was wrong. No Kyrie, AD, and Coop. Klay, gaff, Live, Pj, Naji. On paper seems legit. What couldve been
I feel Kyrie and Klay will be traded by off season to hit full rebuild
