One of the bright young stars in the NBA is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers after it was announced that they had acquired Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in a league-altering trade involving Anthony Davis.
In just his seventh NBA season, Doncic has already been named to five All-Star teams, five All-NBA teams, an NBA Finals and a Western Conference Finals. Players like that rarely getting traded in the prime of their careers, if ever, but somehow Rob Pelinka and the Lakers were able to pull it off.
Everyone was caught off guard by this trade, including those involved, as Doncic did not request a trade and had no inkling that one was coming.
