Anthony Davis’ tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers came to a stunning end over the weekend when he and Max Christie were traded to the Dallas Mavericks as part of a blockbuster deal to land Luka Doncic.
In five-plus seasons with the team, Davis was named to four All-Star games and of course won a championship alongside LeBron James in 2020. The Lakers acquiring Davis to pair with James represented a new era of Lakers basketball that brought the organization its 17th title and plenty of other memorable games and moments.
While acquiring a 25-year-old superstar like Doncic wasn’t something the Lakers could pass up, it’s still extremely tough to see Davis go considering all he has done for the organization and community.
