Grading the stunning Lakers-Mavs trade: Who won the Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis swap?

Goooooood morning, NBA fans!

During the cover of night, the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks decided to shake up the world of basketball, conducting a trade that most wouldn't even dare pull off in NBA 2K.

The Lakers acquired Luka Donu010diu0107, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris from Dallas, which sent back Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick.

(The Utah Jazz were looped in as a third team, receiving Jalen Hood-Schifino, and two 2025 second-round picks. But with all due respect to the Jazz here, who cares?)

This trade is obviously about the Lakers and Mavericks.
