How the Lakers-Mavericks blockbuster trade affects the Celtics

In one of the more shocking NBA trades in recent memory, Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis officially swapped teams Sunday morning.

Lakers receive: Doncic, Maxi Kleber, Markieff Morris

Mavericks receive: Davis, Max Christie, 2029 first-round pick

Jazz receive: Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2025 second-round pick from Lakers, 2025 second-round pick from Dallas
