The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks executed a blockbuster trade, sending Anthony Davis to Dallas in exchange for Luka Dončić. The Mavericks, aiming for an immediate championship run, acquired Davis, while the Lakers parted ways with their defensive leader. The trade came as a surprise, with Dončić not reportedly requesting a move.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks completed one of the most shocking and significant trades in NBA history.
In a complete turn of events, the Lakers no longer have Anthony Davis on their roster. Instead, they traded him away for one of the top players in the league, superstar guard Luka Dončić.Many wondered how long this trade has been in the works and if a trade request was discussed. However, NBA insider Marc Stein says that Dončić did not request a trade.
The Mavericks did this on their own accord, getting back Anthony Davis but only one future first-round pick from the Lakers in 2029 for a 25-year-old regarded as a future MVP.Nonetheless, the Mavericks and general manager Nico Harrison view it as a win-now move. According to Brett Siegel of Clutch Points, the Mavericks contacted Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka on Saturday night about this trade.
Davis spent the past six seasons in Los Angeles and helped the team win its 17th title in the 2019-20 season.
