The Dallas Mavericks ' offense had been almost entirely centered around star guard Luka Doncic since he became the face of the franchise. Last year, the Slovenian superstar led the league in scoring (33.9 points) and usage rate (36.0%) and was the main catalyst behind Dallas' NBA Finals run.

The most consequential NBA trade deadline is finally over and boy was it a busy one. Not only did we have blockbuster deals involving massive names like Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis and Jimmy Butler, we also had a bunch of much smaller deals.

We also had a Donatas Motiejūnas trade in 2016 get rescinded due to back issues. The Rockets traded him to Detroit, but the Pistons voided the deal. It was the second time these two teams were involved in a voided trade. The Pistons traded Sean Elliot to the Rockets for Robert Horry and Matt Bullard in 1994, but Elliot failed his physical.

Rumors had long linked two teams as potential landing spots if Doncic ever left the Dallas Mavericks – the Lakers and the Miami Heat .

The Los Angeles Lakers' newest face, Luka Doncic, made his anticipated debut on Monday night against the Utah Jazz. He scored 14 points in a win.

Luka Doncic produced 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in his Los Angeles Lakers debut and LeBron James added 24 points, seven rebounds and eight assists as the newly formed star duo led the way to a 132-113 victory over the visiting Utah Jazz on Monday.
