The NBA landscape has completely changed after an early Sunday morning blockbuster three-team trade that is one of the most shocking in league history.
The Mavericks are sending Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Lakers while Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick are going to Dallas, according to multiple reports.
The Jazz are the third team in the deal and are acquiring guard Jalen Hood-Schifino and two 2025 second-round draft picks from the Clippers and Mavericks.
