Part 5/7:
Looking forward, Doncic represents not only the future of the Mavericks but also potentially the entire NBA landscape. There were rumors that the Mavericks’ management considered trading Doncic, with talks involving a swap for Anthony Edwards. While some deem trading Doncic a mistake, others argue that it might be a strategic move for enhancing team performance.
Concerns about Doncic's conditioning also loom large. Despite his current ability to dominate games, the history of athletes like Joel Embiid shows that time and physical fitness can deteriorate performance. Doncic’s ability to maintain his level of play hinges not only on talent but also on his commitment to conditioning and overall health.
