For the first time since 2011, the Dallas Mavericks are headed to the NBA Finals, where they will hope to win the second championship in franchise history. They
have one of the top three players in the game in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving has turned into the perfect running mate beside him. They will face a tough challenge when they take on Boston, but they have already beaten the Clippers, Thunder and Timberwolves to get there.Dallas traded for Irving last season, but they did not reap the benefits immediately.
Washington was a good player for the Hornets, but with players like Doncic and Irving around him, he has taken his game to another level. He was pivotal in the series against Oklahoma City, shooting 47% from three. He can be an effective scorer and he has been a perfect fit on this team. Later that same summer they traded for Murray, Atlanta chose to trade Kevin Huerter, in what was a salary dump move. Huerter was one of the Hawks better young players and would help this team currently, but they traded him to Sacramento for a protected 1st round pick, Justin Holiday, and Mo Harkless. The Kings pick has not conveyed yet and neither Holiday or Harkless is on the team any longer.
After drafting Onyeka Okongwu 6th overall in the 2020 draft, they have kept Capela for too long and even extended him. Instead of trading Capela for assets and going with Okongwu at center, Atlanta is now paying two centers and Capela's trade value has gone down.
