Although the Mavericks now have two superstars in Doncic and Irving, what is little known is that as the most popular player in the league today, Haliburton once had the opportunity to wear the Mavericks jersey. Unfortunately, the Knicks were Si has not come true, otherwise the Mavericks are now led by two super new stars, Doncic and Haliburton, which will indeed make people look forward to it even more.
Time goes back to the 2020 draft. At that time, the Mavericks provided Brunson, the 18th pick, and the 31st pick to the Knicks to inquire about the No. 8 pick held by the Knicks, and the reason why they wanted this 8th pick was The purpose of picking Haliburton was to select Haliburton. Unfortunately, the Knicks rejected this request in the end, and used the No. 8 pick to pick Toppin, who did not realize his talent in the Big Apple City, while Haliburton was selected in the No. 8 pick. Selected by the Kings with the 12th overall pick. In fact, if the Knicks had agreed to the Mavericks’ request, they would not have turned back later and offered Brunson a contract worth hundreds of millions.
After being selected by the Kings, Haliburton was fortunate not to be delayed in this team known as the “rookie graveyard”. Instead, he secured his starting position in the team in the second season. However, The Kings ultimately chose the latter between Haliburton and Fox. After trading Haliburton to the Pacers, they also acquired a powerful insider in Sabonis Jr., who contributed to the team’s success. He made great contributions to reaching the playoffs last season.
Haliburton, who has now taken the leading position of the Pacers, has continued to improve this season after averaging 20+10 per game last season.Earlier, he led the team to eliminate the Bucks in the semi-finals of the mid-season tournament and won the26point7backboard15Assists, no mistakes in the game, just imagine if the younger and more potential Haliburton is now partnered with Doncic, will the Mavericks fans have more expectations? But from another perspective, if the Mavericks really picked Haliburton in the draft, given that Doncic is the ball-handling core, Haliburton may not be able to truly realize his talent in Dallas. .Return to Sohu to see more
