Anthony Davis, after being introduced by the Dallas Mavericks: "I was surprised, I was watching a movie at home, I had no idea"
La Ceja, already fully committed to his new team, talks about how he found out about his transfer and his new excitement
Anthony Davis has broken his silence about the trade that took him from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks. In statements to the press, the power forward acknowledged that the news caught him by surprise when he received the call about something no one expected.
"I was surprised. I didn't know. I was at home, about to watch a movie with my wife, when I received the call. I had no idea... Now I've processed it and I'm just getting ready to play with Dallas," Davis expressed, according to Mike Curtis.
The move, which shook the NBA, allowed the Lakers to acquire Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris. In exchange, the Mavericks received Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick. The trade also involved the Utah Jazz, who acquired Jalen Hood-Schifino and two second-round picks.
Davis, after the initial shock, showed enthusiasm for the opportunity to play alongside Kyrie Irving and revealed that they had discussed this possibility in the past. "Kai and I talked about this in 2018 when I requested the trade from New Orleans. We've wanted to play together for a long time. Now we have that chance," he commented.
