Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Luka Doncic
You may be asking yourself a question – why would Doncic request a trade? Here’s a better question – why wouldn’t he?
The Mavericks have done a poor job of building around Doncic. We don’t mean to be harsh, but we have to be realistic. This has not gone well.
They entered the 2022-23 season with a strange band of misfits surrounding him. The Mavericks loaded up on mediocre-to-solid role players and told Doncic “OK, time to carry us to the playoffs”.
Then, they traded for the most volatile star in the NBA in Kyrie Irving – in a contract year.

If Irving leaves this summer, Doncic may not see many avenues toward improvement for the Mavericks.
If he requests a trade, should they accept this return?
