Dallas Mavericks celebrate two years with Luka Doncic

Dallas Mavericks celebrate the second anniversary of acquiring Luka Doncic in a draft-night trade

The Dallas Mavericks made a bold move on draft night 2018. They traded the fifth overall pick plus their first round selection in 2019 to move up to third overall to select Luka Doncic. Two first rounder is a hefty price, but Doncic has more than paid off.

The 21-year-old is already in the MVP conversation. Fans can see where he stacks up here. He started the All-Star game in his second NBA season. Luka is proving to be a generational talent that will lead the Mavericks to the playoffs every year for the next decade-plus.

He also could average a 30-point triple-double per game for the season at his peak. That is the part that intrigues fans most. How great can Doncic be when he reaches his apex? The sky seems like the limit at this moment.
