And we have seen that even with AD is still in the Lakers, and they are hoping that this year, he will not be as fragile, but he still got injured and so the wear and tear of AD's body is going to show in the next 2 years if I may say that.
Yes, they still have Kyrie and Klay, but still it's very different when you have the 25 year old as your franchise player and this could be the biggest regret if any of Nico if AD will be injury prone with his Dallas stint and then slowly losing his prime years as a Maverick.
It's funny that Davis played almost all the games during the previous season and half of this season, i.e. he has not been injury-prone all this time, which is unusual for him. Maybe such a long period without injuries made the Mavs management believe that trading Luka for Davis could be a good deal. Imho, the Mavs screwed the pooch on that deal.
