The Lakers NBA final is more than double after exchanging Anthony Davis for Luka Dončić

The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks concluded one of the most amazing offers in sports history on Saturday evening, exchanging Luka Dončić and Anthony Davis. Las Vegas responded quickly, and perhaps not in the way Dallas hoped.

At Betmgm, the chances of the Lakers for winning their 18th NBA championship only doubled, going from +4000 to +1800. It is an implicit change of probability of 2.44% to 5.26%.

As for the Mavericks, they went from +2000 to +3000. Obviously, the ratings did not like the idea of ​​a team drawn by Davis and Kyrie Irving, at least compared to Dončić and Irving.

Meanwhile, the MVP ratings for the two players are always out of the set.

How do Luka Dončić and Anthony Davis help their new teams?

The adjustments for the two teams will be fascinating. The director general of Mavericks, Nico Harrison, married the classic “Defense wins the championships“Ligning while defending the profession, and he can at least say that his team is better defensive, although the team has already had a big defensive man in Daniel Gafford.

The question is whether the team will be able to compensate for the loss of Dončić in attack. There are few offensive engines like Dončić in the history of basketball, with an average career of 28.6 points and 8.3 assists per game on six seasons. And then there are the long -term repercussions, which are important for Dallas since Davis is 32 years old next year, while Dončić is 25 years old.

On the side of the Lakers, they must now understand how Dončić and LeBron James, who would have I had no idea that the move was performing, coexisting it in attack, as well as what they do without Davis in defense. James and Dončić are the famous famous, but they also need the ball in their hands to be their best me.

Below, the rotation of the center of the Lakers is now something like Jaxson Hayes, Trey Jemison III and Christian Koloko, with Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt and Dorian Finney-Smith as power. Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris, the other two players who arrive commercially, will be added to this depth table. It is not quite a group that shouts the competitor, but the aim of associating James and Dončić is to make it important.

The two teams take on a significant risk here, although the Lakers can at least say that they can be seen in the long term after being submitted to what they do in a post-James world. And we still have a few days until the NBA trade deadline for both teams to make additional movements.
