It’s not often that a superstar gets traded at the age of 25 without requesting it, but that was the case last week when the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in a blockbuster deal for Anthony Davis and Max Christie.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ stunning trade for Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic early Sunday morning gives the Lake Show their new franchise cornerstone for the next decade. The move is expected to be a win in the short term too.

There was no tender goodbye between Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks following a blockbuster trade that sent the five-time All- NBA selection to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Mavericks agreed to move Doncic to the Lakers on Saturday night, getting back Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick in return.
