It seems like Doncic has given a timeline to the team. According to reports, the 2019 Rookie of the Year might ask for a trade out of Dallas as soon as the summer of 2024. That essentially means that another season of heartbreak for the Mavs might see fans writing farewell posts for their poster boy.
