Is it feasible for Davis to replace Holiday + White? The Mavericks have more balanced offense and defense, and the Celtics fill the gap in the inside!

Basketball

In Harrison's words, the introduction of Davis was to improve the team's defense. Reality slapped him in the face. Not only that, the operation of trading Doncic to the Lakers also put the Mavericks in another difficult problem, that is, three-pointers. Last season's Mavericks ranked among the top five in the league in both the regular season and the playoffs, and this season's three-point shooting has dropped sharply to the 26th place in the league (fifth to the bottom). Since joining the Mavericks, Davis has played in a total of 9 games, averaging 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists per game, plus 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks, and his shooting percentage has also reached 51.6%. Although his performance outside the three-point line is not satisfactory, he can still dominate both offense and defense.

A few days ago, after the comments from Flagg exchanged for Antetokounmpo were strangled, many people turned their attention to Davis. Some people believed that Davis's arrival did not make the Mavericks' defense higher, and there was another problem of three-point inefficiency, so Davis should be sent away. For this reason, a trading guess was also given: (It's really not a big deal to watch the fun)

Celtic The People - Davis; Mavericks - Holiday + White

The Celtics were not only defeated by the Knicks in the series, but also lost the Gemini during the period. Tatum suffered an Achilles tendon injury and was likely to miss the entire 25-26 season. Brown also suffered a meniscus injury. After playing the series with an injury, he may also miss some of the 25-26 season.

The Celtics are facing a considerable crisis. The most effective way to solve these crises is to dismantle the starting five tigers (Porzingis, White, Holiday). Davis is obviously one of the ideal candidates for the Celtics. As early as 2019, Davis was the "resin" the Celtics dreamed of. He was an inside star with both offense and defense. His arrival not only made up for Tatum's vacancy on the offensive end, but also improved the team's defensive strength (Porzingis was beaten up, Horford was a veteran).

joined the Celtics, and Davis was indeed able to play the fourth position he liked. Cornet grew rapidly in the 24-25 season.

The Mavericks' most urgent solution is the core problem of the organization, because Irving suffered a knee injury and would have to return to the team at least in the early stage of the 25-26 season. In addition, Irving in the 25-26 season is already a 34-year-old veteran, and he needs someone to share his pressure on both offense and defense. Both Holiday and White have such abilities, and both of them have very rich experience in tough battles.

In this way, the Mavericks' main lineup in the 25-26 season will be Irving + White + Flag + Washington + Lefley, Holiday, Gafford, Marshall, Klay Thompson, Christie, etc. This main lineup, whether it is starting or rotating, is balanced offense and defense. There will be no more pressure on the organizational end, and there will be many experts outside the three-point line.
