NBA. Luka Doncic goes to LA Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis

The confirmation from Dallas Mavs general manager Nico Harrison

Incredible but true. As reported by ESPN, Luka Doncic è a new player for the LA Lakers who, in turn, said goodbye to Anthony Davis, one of the franchise’s two All Stars. A trade that shook the foundations of the'NBA, a trade that left everyone dumbfounded because it was totally unexpected.

Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris, now new players for the LA Lakers, are also part of the deal, while Max Christie and the 2029 first-round pick of the yellowviola are the counterparts for the Mavs. To make ends meet, involved the Jazz, who receive Jalen Hood-Schifino and two second-round Draft picks.

In short, Luka Doncic will play alongside what è always been his idol, namely LeBron James. It would be the Mavs who would call the LA Lakers and offer Luka Doncic. The reason? The desire to try to change something to attempt the race for that NBA title that, with the Slovenian, è never came.

"I believe that defense wins titles. I think taking one of the best defensive longs and an All-NBA player [like Anthony Davis] with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance to win. We are built to win both now and in the future", the words Tim MacMahon of ESPN. LeBron James reportedly learned of the trade while at dinner in New York City where he had just won, leading the LA Lakers, the showdown with the Knicks (128-112).
