The Los Angeles Lakers have a new superstar to build around for years to come as they pulled off one of the more shocking trades in NBA history, acquiring Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks.
It obviously came at a cost as the Lakers had to give up Anthony Davis, Max Christie, Jalen Hood-Schifino, a 2029 first-round pick and 2025 second-round pick to complete the trade. That’s a deal you do every time though in order to bring in a 25-year-old superstar that can lead the franchise into its next era.
Doncic is already a five-time All-Star and five-time First Team All-NBA nominee and is coming off his first NBA Finals appearance last season.
