Scored 92+23 in two games! One player defeated two No. 1 picks, the worst deal of the century? The Mavericks gave up on contract renewal

11:10pm, 26 October 2025【Basketball】

On October 26, the most disappointing team since the start of the NBA regular season is not the Rockets but the Mavericks. The Rockets' loss is understandable. After all, they have introduced new big names, and the team faced top teams in two games. On the other hand, the Mavericks lost one game to the Wizards and the other to the Spurs. Maybe the Spurs are slightly stronger, but they are not losing by 33 points, right? I think the reason for their defeat was the abnormal lineup.

After the start of the game, everyone should have discovered that many teams have begun to try twin towers or even larger lineups, and the two craziest teams here are the Rockets and Mavericks. The Rockets tried a large lineup because they had no choice. Because Van Jordan was injured and they lacked a suitable point guard, they could only put forward their best lineup to fight against their opponents. The Lone Ranger's big lineup was completely his own crazy attempt, and the results were very bad.

Their top five are Klay, Flagg, Washington, Big Eyebrow and Lively. The team lets Washington and Flagg hold the ball most of the time. The two do have the ability to hold the ball, but they have no organizational ability. The Mavericks have been stuck in crazy singles since the beginning of the game. It is not that they don’t want to play team basketball, but that no one is in tandem. There is no other way except singles. The key is that they have good point guards, like Russell, but they just don’t use them.

Now the Mavericks' top five defenses are indeed good, but the biggest problem lies in the offense. Clay is now a mental knife. After a serious injury, you can't expect him to be able to cover everything. Thick Eyebrow's shooting is now unstable. His shooting has seriously deteriorated in the past few years. Although he is still an outstanding star in the league, he is no longer a top star. Although Flagg is extremely talented, Kidd asked him to play in the organization, which also made him play awkwardly and unable to use his own advantages.

If the current situation continues, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to enter the playoffs, let alone the championship. This is obviously not what the Mavericks management wants to see. If the team's subsequent record does not improve, then there is a high probability that someone will take the blame. Will this person be Kidd? Or someone else? I think Kidd's chances are unlikely. After all, he just signed a contract with the team this summer, and Kidd can also take the blame for this kind of thing. After all, you selected the players. I didn't play well because I didn't have the cards.

The one who may be laid off in the end will be Harrison. It is estimated that looking at the current lineup of the Mavericks, their fans will regret it very much. If Doncic is included, then the current Mavericks should still be a strong team in the Western Conference and not be like now. This season, due to James' injury, Doncic started his personal mode to lead the team forward. The team met the Warriors and Timberwolves in the first two games. In the absence of James, it is understandable that the Lakers lost both games.

But Doncic led the team to a record of 1 win and 1 loss. He relied entirely on his personal ability to lead the team forward. So far in the regular season, Doncic has scored 43 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in one game. He scored 49 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists. He was the first player in history to score 40+10+5 in the first two games. At the same time, he scored 92 points in the opening two games. Looking at history, he only ranked behind two people, surpassing Jordan, Alexander and others.

Doncic is indeed stronger after losing weight, and his physical fitness is better, which also allows him to still perform violently in the fourth quarter in high-intensity games. Looking at Dongcic now Cic, it is estimated that many fans will once again think of the original deal with the Mavericks. After they sent Doncic to the Lakers, they asked for thick eyebrows + Christie + 1 first-round pick. Some people said that in order to appease the Mavericks, the league gave them the No. 1 pick Flagg.

To be honest, even if Flagg is added, he and the double No. 1 pick with thick eyebrows are far inferior to Doncic. Doncic has averaged 46 points, 11.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1 steal per game since the start of the game, and his shooting percentage is 62%. On the other hand, Big Eyebrow has averaged 24.5 points, 13 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game since the start of the game. Looking at the data alone, the data is indeed not bad, but the field goal percentage is only 39% and the three-point shooting percentage is 25%. Flagg has started the game averaging 14 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and the field goal percentage is 37%.

The two averaged only 38 points and 5.5 assists per game, which is far inferior to Doncic. Although these two American sons have good talents, they are still far from the top talents. It is estimated that Flagg will have difficulty reaching Doncic's height in the future. The Mavericks boss probably also regrets trusting Harrison. According to ESPN, sources revealed that Harrison currently has no negotiation for a contract extension and only has 2 years left on his contract. Since coming to the Mavericks, he has acted like a monster in various ways. He wanted to consolidate his power and gave up many senior seniors, which also hurt the morale within the team.

His series of operations were initially hyped, and the boss was deceived, thinking that he really had a chance to win the championship. As a result, the current situation is far lower than expected, and the team gave up on renewing his contract. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Mavericks?
