NBA News: Mavs eying former MVP, Young-McMillian feud, Anthony Davis

NBA News: Anthony Davis
The player formerly known as “street clothes,” Anthony Davis, has been balling of late. I was joking about the first part, but not about the second. In fact, he’s having a career year, averaging 28.6 points, 12.8 rebounds, which leads the NBA, and 2.4 blocks.
Moreover, Davis’ dominance has helped the Los Angeles Lakers rebound from an ugly 2-10 start, and they are now 8-2 in their last 10 games and 10-12 overall.
AD over his last 10:

55 PTS - 17 REB - 3 BLK
44 PTS - 10 REB - 3 BLK
27 PTS - 12 REB - 3 BLK
25 PTS - 13 REB - 4 BLK
25 PTS - 15 REB - 3 BLK
37 PTS - 21 REB - 5 BLK
30 PTS - 18 REB - 3 STL
38 PTS - 16 REB - 4 BLK
37 PTS - 18 REB - 2 AST

The Lakers have a brutal December schedule, but Davis’ performance and that of the Lakers as they enter a make-or-break stretch gives them a fighting chance to make the playoffs.
NBA News: Derrick Rose to the Dallas Mavericks?
The Dallas Mavericks are in need of more ballhandling and playmaking to try and take pressure off Luka Doncic, and a new rumor suggests that they may try to acquire former league MVP, Derrick Rose. Rose has fallen out of the New York Knicks rotation, but he can still be a productive player and may not cost the Mavericks more than a couple of second-round picks.
Next. 1 stat proves that we're in the NBA's offensive renaissance. dark
If that is indeed the case, then Dallas should strongly consider trading for him, especially with the team being just 11-11 and trending in the wrong direction. That’s all for now, hoops heads!
