Anthony Davis quietly traded for Luka Doncic in blockbuster NBA deal

While Kentucky fans were trying to come to terms with losing to John Calipari late last night, news of a blockbuster three-team trade rocked the entire landscape of the NBA.

The Los Angeles Lakers traded former Kentucky star Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks for five-time NBA First-Team player Luka Doncic.

The Mavericks got Davis, guard Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick in the deal. The Lakers ended up with Doncic and forwards Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris. The Utah Jazz came out of the deal with Jalen Hood-Schifino, a 2025 second-round pick (via LA Clippers) and a 2025 second-round pick (via Dallas).
