The Dallas Mavericks exchange Luka Doncic at the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and a first -round choice in 2029 in a superb successful agreement, sources said in ESPN Shams Charania on Saturday evening.
Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris also head for the Lakers while Max Christie goes to Dallas, sources said.
The Mavericks recently approached the Lakers and therefore offered in a business, sources said. Lakers Brass met and decided that Donateic, 25, has the ability to be the face of the franchise for the next decade while giving Davis a winning situation in Dallas.
The MAVs, on the other hand, had major concerns concerning the future with Donci because of its constant conditioning problems and the imminent commitment of another extension of the Supermax contract this summer, sources said in Tim MacMahon D ‘Espn.
“I believe that the defense wins the championships,” said Mavs Managing Director Nico Harrison, to Macmahon concerning his motivation to exchange Davis. “I believe that obtaining an all-defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive state of mind gives us a better chance. We are built to win now and in the future.”
Utah Jazz, a third team from the agreement, receives the Lakers goalkeeper Jalen Hood-Schifino as well as the second round choices in 2025 of the Clippers and Mavericks.
