The Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic Trade Just got Even BIGGER.
The Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic Trade Just got Even BIGGER. The NBA has always been full of jaw-dropping trades, unexpected betrayals, and sudden rises to stardom. Yet the day Luka Dončić was sent to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis took everyone by such complete surprise that sports fans can vividly recall where they were when they first heard the news. Was it fake? A hack? A bizarre rumor? Initially, nobody believed it—and for good reason. Luka had just finished posting some of the most astounding stats in the league, edging out even the prime numbers that once secured LeBron James’s MVP trophies. And yet, in an instant, he was gone. Shipped to L.A. for a 31-year-old Anthony Davis, who was recovering from another injury and had spent the past few seasons being called “made of glass” by even his most loyal fans. But the strangest part wasn’t the trade itself; it was the relentless smear campaign that followed, an onslaught that exposed just how toxic things had become in Dallas.
