Doncic can help anchor the team for the foreseeable future, giving them a star to build around once James retires.Doncic now pairs with James for the remainder of the season as Los Angeles looks to make a title run. The duo could be lethal for teams to guard against, with Doncic resembling a younger James in a lot of ways.For Dallas, they now pair Davis with Kyrie Irving for the remainder of the year. The Mavericks will be looking to get back to the NBA Finals.Just months ago, Dallas was in the NBA Finals with Doncic as the leading man. But now, the Mavericks will go forward with two older stars to see if they can capture a title.This trade may go down as one of the craziest in NBA history due to the magnitude of the players involved.
