According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, at no point after Jason Kidd found out about the Luka Doncic trade did he try to stop the deal. It appeared he had no intentions of throwing himself in the middle to keep his franchise player in Dallas.

When the trade happened, Kidd publicly said he wasn’t involved in trading Doncic. Beyond that, he said Nico Harrison didn’t tell him until the eleventh hour.

“The trade was made and J-Kidd says he didn’t know about it until the eleventh hour, I’ll just say my understanding is he didn’t exactly toss himself in front of the oncoming train to try to prevent it from happening,” said Tim MacMahon on The Hoop Collective Podcast.

Since trading Doncic, Dallas finds themselves as a bottom-feeding team with a record of 38-42. Despite the injuries and numerous trades made, they found a way to claim the tenth seed in the Western Conference.

The Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns have been eliminated from playoff/Play-In contention.

According to Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks have the real possibility of getting back Anthony Davis in the near future.

The likeliest of a return is increasing, as it could be seen during or after Dallas’ four game road trip.

Davis has been out since February 8th, which saw him get injured during his debut game with the Mavericks. He has only played 31 total minutes with the team.

The 32-year-old has only played in 43 games this season.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks have lost another player, with Dante Exum being sidelined for an undisclosed amount of time.

Exum replaced Kyrie Irving in the starting lineup after he tore his ACL; however, that’ll no longer be the case due to Exum breaking a bone in his left hand.

Dallas has been put in a pickle due to all these injuries, and contracts, that they can’t even sign a player to a 10-day deal because of them being pressed against the first apron.

Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, and Daniel Gafford have no clear return to the court. Olivier-Maxence Prosper is out for the remainder of the season.
