Shams Charania: The Mavericks approached the Lakers recently and offered Luka Doncic, sources tell ESPN. Lakers brass met and believed the 25-year-old Doncic has the ability to be the face of their franchise for the next decade while giving Anthony Davis a win-now move in Dallas.https://xcancel.com/ShamsCharania/status/1885925196650963331

Bobby Marks: There are major financial implications for Luka Doncic with this trade. He was in line to receive a five-year $345M contract this summer. Doncic is no longer super max eligible.https://xcancel.com/BobbyMarks42/status/1885922284071702954

Tim McMahon: "I believe that defense wins championships,” Mavs GM Nico Harrison told ESPN regarding his motivation to trade Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. “I believe that getting an All-Defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We’re built to win now and in the future."https://xcancel.com/espn_macmahon/status/1885922718333181992

Tim McMahon: The Mavs had major concerns about moving forward with Luka Doncic due to his constant conditioning issues and the looming commitment of another supermax contract extension this summer, sources told ESPN.https://xcancel.com/espn_macmahon/status/1885924010669621271

lol the fat fuck is going to LA like all the conspiracy theorists said!!! OMG
Like even if he wanted out and would only resign with the Lakers how do you not get a better return?
Lakers robbed Dallas. Silver twisted Cuban's arms to do this.
Didn’t Cuban sell recently or did I imagine that?
Must have some blackmail on him then since this is the worst trade I’ve seen in my life
From what I remember he sold but, was still running the team. And only sold because he was guaranteed full control of the team after the sale.
I could definitely be wrong though so do fact check me.
He sold the majority of his stake a couple years ago but it seems like he is still involved to some extent

You beat me!
No idea why the Mavs do this, was Luka unhappy?
The food better in LA
I mean, there is no other possible explanation right? I'm a life long Lakers fan and this makes no sense.

This had to have been fixed by the league. There's absolutely NOTHING in this for the Mavs. Horrible, horrible trade!
Like the nets got 5 firsts for bridges, the jazz got 5 for Gobert, how is this the best you got for Luka? NO ONE KNEW HE WAS EVEN AVAILABLE
Everything I’m seeing right now is saying he didn’t ask out either, I’m not even a Mavs fan and it feels like a gut punch lol
I feel so bad for you, my condolences.
That's exactly what I was thinking as a Knicks fan, like we gave 5 firsts for Mikal and it only takes ONE for fucking Doncic??? He's a 25 year old walking triple double, perennial MVP candidate.
And of course it had to be the Lakers who get another franchise player for the next decade basically for free. Fuck sake.
