When the Dallas Mavericks first acquired Anthony Davis, the organization believed he was the missing piece to help the team get back to the NBA Finals. Things, though, never panned out, as Davis suffered numerous injuries and was traded last month. It's a move that has worked in their favor, especially with Dallas' newest additions and Davis' disastrous season.
Dallas traded Davis last month in a three-team deal that brought in multiple draft picks, along with Khris Middleton, Marvin Bagley III, AJ Johnson, and Tyus Jones. Middleton and Bagley III have become key rotational pieces, making an immediate impact.
