Even though the Los Angeles Lakers are getting a generational talent in Luka Doncic, it is still very difficult to see Anthony Davis traded away. The big man helped bring a championship to the Lakers in 2020 and has really grown into the team’s best player over the past couple of years.
Like the rest of the world, Davis had no idea this trade was even a possibility. He took to social media after it went down to thank the Lakers fans but is now over that initial shock and ready to make an impact on his new team, via ESPN’s Tim Bontemps:
“I was shocked,” Davis, wearing a full Mavericks sweatsuit, said after Dallas held its morning shootaround at Wells Fargo Center before facing the host Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.
