In a shocking NBA twist, the Dallas Mavericks are trading their superstar guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a deal involving Anthony Davis, as reported by ESPN.
The move pairs the 25-year-old Slovenian sensation with LeBron James, giving the Lakers a future cornerstone as James nears the end of his career.
Dallas, in return, secures a defensive powerhouse in Davis, aiming to bolster their championship hopes with his All-Defensive prowess.
The Mavericks will also receive guard Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, while the Lakers add Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to their roster.
The Utah Jazz are involved as well, picking up Lakers guard Jalen Hood-Schifino. With Doncic sidelined since Christmas due to injury concerns and Davis currently out with an abdominal strain, this blockbuster trade has sent shockwaves through the league.
