In exchange, Dallas will receive Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two first-round picks and three second-rounders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Shipping out the oft-injured Davis, whom the Mavericks received in trade for Luka Don\u010di\u0107 just a year ago, Dallas firmly closed the door on the Don\u010di\u0107 era and moved to orient its team around rookie sensation Cooper Flagg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In the nation\u2019s capital, the Wizards signaled years of futility and tanking may be over. Washington has now turned previous seasons\u2019 trades of Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma into Trae Young, Davis and five picks. When healthy, Young and Davis are positioned to play alongside the second-overall pick from the 2024 NBA Draft, Alex Sarr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Blazer fans, what do you think of the trade?
