The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly acquired superstar guard Luka Doncic in a blockbuster trade, sending out Anthony Davis in a deal with the Dallas Mavericks that nobody saw coming. Doncic has been one of the best players in the NBA since he came in the league, winning Rookie of the Year while being an All-Star and First Team All-NBA selection from 2020-24.
Last season, Doncic even led the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals appearance since winning it all in 2011. Doncic has done all of this while only being 25 years old which further begged the question of why Dallas would trade their franchise cornerstone to the Lakers.
