As the texts started flying in last Saturday night regarding the Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic trade (was it real?), I harkened back to another supposed trade between the Lakers and Mavs. In 1986 the Lakers almost traded James Worthy for Mark Aguirre and the draft rights to Roy Tarpley. Jerry West fortunately put the kibosh on that deal.
Here, however, despite the loss of AD’s great defense and overall outstanding play, I’m glad this trade came to fruition primarily because of Luka being five years younger.

The only thing the Lakers organization and the Laker fans will miss with the Anthony Davis trade is his spot on the bench in street clothes.
