Although the Mavericks have been ill-fated recently, they have suffered a series of injuries on the inside, which may not be conducive to their next competition. But in the long run, it seems that many people think that the Mavericks are more profitable in the trade involving Doncic and Davis.
The first is that Doncic and James seemed to be incompatible with each other in the last game. And Doncic has indeed had a significant decline this season, and his increasingly undisciplined behavior has been reflected in his stats and efficiency this season. He was also very poor on the defensive end. Doncic is indeed a talent on the offensive end, but if his personality is not reversed, if he does not become disciplined, then it will not improve much for the future of the Lakers. You must know that the country is easy to change and difficult to change, who can reverse Doncic's character?
Davis, on the other hand, is undoubtedly one of the strongest interior players in the league right now, and his debut with the Mavericks has already shown his dominance. What's more, the Mavericks got Christie in addition to Davis, and perhaps Christie seems to have become a trade addition to this superstar deal, but more and more fans think that maybe the Lakers will regret sending Christie in the future, and maybe when people think about this big deal in a few years, they will feel sorry for the Lakers. Because Christie seems to be moving towards the level of star.
After joining the Mavericks, Christie's performance has improved significantly compared to his performance in the Lakers, and he has been reused by Kidd in the Mavericks, averaging 17+5 data per game. Even the reporters on the Mavericks team thought they had really picked up a treasure. What's more, Christie is a player who can attack and defend, and he is not only very sculpturable on the offensive end. He is also expected to become a top defensive stalwart in the future.
So now it's hard for us to judge which side is making the money. If the rest of the Mavericks are all healthy this season, and if they can win a championship this year, then they are on the right side of the deal. And they can either reap the championship accolades in the present or a potential rising star in the future, and the deal is worth it for the Mavericks. Now many people are waiting more to see if Doncic can learn self-discipline with the Lakers and whether he can coexist with James.
