The Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, per Shams

Edit: Full trade:

  • Lakers: Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, Markieff Morris

  • Mavericks: Anthony Davis, Max Christie, 2029 LAL 1st

  • Jazz: Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2025 Clippers 2nd, 2025 Mavericks 2nd”

Edit: need stern do come back and veto this for “basketball reasons” Mavs GM deserves to get fired for this one

This had to have been fixed by the league. There's absolutely NOTHING in this for the Mavs. Horrible, horrible trade!

What??! Nothing?? AD is not of the top 75 players in league history, as per NBA!! (I'll keep writing when I'll stop laughing)

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

This feels like a league trade for ratings. How else can you explain it? This is such an incredibly lopsided trade. With the league ratings having been down for so long, they had to do something to get their prime markets back. Next up, Giannis to the Knicks for the NY pizza rat and a carton of milk from the nearest bodega.

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.
