The Dallas Mavericks are still feeling the aftermath of last season\u2019s shocking Luka Doncic trade. They came away with the #1 overall pick last season, cashing that chip in by selecting Cooper Flagg out of Duke, but at 19-31 little else has gone their way. Reviled GM Nico Harrison was relieved of his duties in early November while Anthony Davis, the biggest acquisition from the Luka trade, was traded to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday ahead of the NBA trade deadline. With Davis now out of the picture and closing the door more or less on the Luka debacle, Dallas is poised to commence a full rebuild with the 19-year-old Flagg as the face of the franchise.<\/p>\n
Tonight represents a rare home\/away SEGABABA for the Silver and Black, as they come into town after a hard-fought win last night against the defending champs. They\u2019ve shown very recently though just how capable they are of getting in late and still playing with a winning effort.<\/p>\n
