It took less than one game for the critics to be proven exactly right about just how badly the Dallas Mavericks screwed up their trade of superstar point guard

After one of the most controversial trades in NBA history, where the Mavericks sent away homegrown superstar Luka Doncic due to concerns with injury potential and conditioning, Dallas' new franchise centerpiece is already out for 'multiple weeks' with an adductor strain.

The Lakers acquire five-time All-Star Doncic in a deal that positions him as their star of the future and sends 10-time All-Star Davis, Max Christie and a first-round draft pick to Dallas.
