Dreaming up the Dallas Mavericks' ultimate starting 5, 5 years from now

Power forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo

The new CBA may make the Dallas Mavericks landing Giannis Antetokounmpo nearly impossible, but imagining him on the court next to Luka Doncic is too much fun to not add him to the Mavs' dream starting five in five years.

Antetokounmpo is one of the most dominant players of this era, and his lockdown defense is unbelievable to watch. He has been unstoppable for years while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, and if he were to explore free agency one day, the Mavs would be an interesting fit.

If the Mavs were to somehow sign Antetokounmpo, they would have one of the best duos of all time with him and Doncic. Both players are dominant in their own ways, and Dallas would have one of the best offenses and defenses in the league on a yearly basis.

Last season for the Bucks, Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 61 percent from the field. Those stats are incredible, and his on-court impact is immense.

Antetokounmpo and Doncic would dominate in the pick and roll, and Doncic's playmaking would be a great fit next to Antetokounmpo's rim pressure. They would be able to dominate on the offensive end in many ways, and Antetokounmpo next to the dream center would be a scary duo for teams that would try to attack the rim.
