Dallas Mavericks’ new acquisition Anthony Davis is expected to help the team win their first NBA championship in 14 years. The trade, which sent Davis to the Mavericks from the Los Angeles Lakers, was a shocking move that left fans stunned. However, Mavericks’ officials believe that Davis’s addition will give them an edge over other teams in the Western Conference.
According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Davis was chosen by the Mavericks because they think he can help them win the championship this year. The team believes their big men are now strong enough to challenge top opponents like Memphis, OKC, and Houston. With Davis on board, paired with big man Dereck Lively II or Daniel Gafford at center, other teams will be intimidated by the Mavericks’ defense.
Davis is an established All-Star who knows how to win big games, having led Los Angeles to a championship in 2020. He’s also a defensive specialist, earning multiple NBA All-Defensive Team selections. The addition of Davis, combined with that of Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson, gives the young Mavericks team a strong chance at making a deep playoff run.
While some fans may still be upset about trading Luka Doncic, who was the face of the franchise, Mavericks officials believe that Davis’s skills will help them achieve their goal of winning an NBA championship. Time will tell if GM Nico Harrison’s bold decision pays off, but for now, the Mavericks are optimistic about their chances.
