One of Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis' preferences will push Nico Harrison toward an extremely tough trade decision that will change everything.

Harrison told reporters Monday the Mavs want defense to be "our calling card," so the franchise "jumped" at the chance to acquire Anthony Davis from the Los Angeles Lakers. Harrison is nothing if not consistent.

Davis was underwhelming against his former team, putting up 13 points and 11 rebounds on a night when Luka Doncic returned home to put up 45 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. Davis credits the Lakers' defense for having a good defensive gameplan, but it is a little bit of an issue when he was hardly noticeable for most of the game.
