Trible-double in loss to Croatia
Doncic is known for his ability to do it all on a nightly basis. The All-Star accumulated 21 triple-doubles in the 2023-24 regular-season, and he has become a walking triple-double with the Mavericks throughout his six-year career. Doncic was a top MVP candidate last season, during which he averaged 33.9 points, 9.8 assists, 9.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 70 regular-season appearances. However, he shot just 0-for-9 from deep against Croatia, an issue he also had in the NBA Finals against Boston when he shot just 24.4 percent from three in five games.

To join Dallas
Thompson narrowed his top two choices down to the Lakers and Mavericks after the Warriors and the sharpshooter mutually decided to go separate ways, so Dallas will be thrilled to pull off this blockbuster. While specifics are still trickling in, Josh Green will head to Charlotte as part of this deal. Thompson's contract includes a player option for the third season, and he'll provide Luka Doncic with some much-needed perimeter shooting as the Mavericks look to make that next step as a franchise after losing to Boston in the NBA Finals.

Signing with Clippers
Jones will join the Clippers after a successful one-year stop in Dallas. Jones' defense and shot-making ability were key in Dallas' playoff run and made him a sought-after piece ahead of next season. With the Clippers likely parting ways with many key pieces, Jones will likely play a significant role for the team.
