Meanwhile, the Mavs brought Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris to the team via a trade from the Nets and have their sights set on the NBA championship. Landing LaMarcus Aldridge on an off-the-bench role will help them bolster their frontline en route to the playoffs.
Despite having both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic available, Dallas has lost its last two games and is currently fifth in the West standings with a 31-28 record.
