I don't expect any Mavs fan to like this trade and nothing I can say will change that. The fan equity in Doncic was immense.
But I believe the Mavs are AS capable of not MORE capable of winning a championship now than they were yesterday. Davis is very possibly the best two way player in the NBA when focused and he engaged. And he's always been that in the postseason.
That version of Davis is a top 8-10 player in the NBA and a perfect fit for the rest of that Mavs roster as currently constructed.
There aren't 4 teams in the NBA right now, Lakers included, who look more championship ready to me than the Mavs.

It just doesn’t make any sense. Mavs have center depth. And the last thing they need right now is another injury prone player. If you’re going to trade Luka, get blue chips out of it. This looks like the mavs accepted a salary dump. At worst he helps a geriatric team led by kyrie and Klay limp on, at worst they expectedly play middling basketball while being on the hook for a max contract a few years
