Los Angeles Lakers Acquire Luka Doncic In BLOCKBUSTER NBA Trade
HuffPost
The deal, at least for now, would pair Doncic with LeBron James in Los Angeles, while Anthony Davis would be forming a new star duo with Kyrie Irving in Dallas.
Luka Doncic led Dallas to the NBA Finals last season. Anthony Davis won a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers.
They’re switching teams now — in an absolute blockbuster.
Doncic is being traded by the reigning Western Conference champion Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers for Davis, a person with knowledge of the agreement said early Sunday.
Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris are headed to the Lakers, while Davis and Max Christie are going to Dallas, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team can announce the deal while it awaits league approval.
The Utah Jazz also are involved in the deal, said the source. ESPN, which first reported the trade, said Jalen Hood-Schifino and two draft picks will be headed to the Jazz. The Dallas Morning News also reported those details on the trade.
