Last trade deadline, the Thunder helped the Mavericks acquire center Daniel Gafford from the Wizards. It was well worth it on OKC's end.

After the Dallas Mavericks shocked the NBA world by shipping Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Thunder fans quickly scoured the internet to see if OKC had any vested draft interest from the former as they voluntarily pulled the plug on a long-term title window.

Dallas Mavericks fans -- and most of the NBA world -- are still reeling from the trade deadline deal that sent franchise centerpiece Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis.

Anthony Davis faced the media for the first time as a member of the Dallas Mavericks, days after the Los Angeles Lakers traded him to the Mavs as part of a package for Luka Doncic. Davis, 31, has been an NBA All-Star 10 times and an All-NBA player five times.

Dallas built its team’s identity around Luka Doncic, on the court and off. Now that he’s gone, some supporters no longer feel a connection to the franchise.
