Luka Doncic throws salt into Mavericks' gaping Anthony Davis wound with one stat

Just over 14 months after the Dallas Mavericks decided to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, he made their decision to move on from him look even worse. Doncic finished with 600 points in March for Los Angeles, which is more points than Davis scored during his entire Mavericks career (587), which stretched over two different seasons.

Luka Doncic passed Anthony Davis' Mavericks point total in 31 days

Doncic averaged 37.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 2.3 steals per game in March while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 39.2 percent from downtown. This includes seven games of at least 40 points and two games of more than 50 points.

Doncic was on a tear all month long, and the Lakers were 14-2 in games he played. They went from the sixth seed all the way to the No. 3 team in the Western Conference, and this is all due to Doncic's dominance. He firmly inserted himself into the thick of the MVP race, while the player he was traded for, Davis, watches from home.

The Mavericks' Anthony Davis experiment went so poorly that they traded him to the Washington Wizards earlier this season, and he has yet to play a game for them. He is still recovering from a hand injury that he suffered in his final game as a Maverick, and this injury ended his Mavericks career on a bad note.

He only played in 29 games, averaging 20.2 points per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 25.4 percent from downtown. Mavericks fans were begging for more every time that he took the court, but they never got it.

He was consistently out of the lineup, but when he was on the floor, he never lived up to Doncic's standards. Everyone knew the Doncic trade would be a nightmare for Dallas the second it was reported, and every game that he plays reminds Mavericks fans that he should still be playing in Big D.

Why the Doncic trade will never leave Dallas alone

He took the NBA by storm in March, further proving how disastrous the Mavericks' decision to trade him was. Doncic had just taken them to the NBA Finals, and instead of doubling down with him as their franchise cornerstone by giving him a supermax extension, they kicked him to the curb less than a year later.

It's a phenomenon no one will ever understand, and he keeps rubbing salt into Mavericks fans' wounds by dismantling the rest of the NBA. Fans want to see him succeed, as an overwhelming majority of Mavericks fans are still Doncic fans, but no one wants to see the trade continuously get brought up and thrown in their faces.

Mark Cuban confirming that Jason Kidd was involved in the deal just added another chapter to this never-ending saga, and Doncic scoring more points in a single month than Davis did in his entire Mavericks career says everything fans need to know.
