Incredible movement in the NBA market before the deadline (Trade Deadline). Dallas Mavericks have decided to make a complete turnaround to their franchise just a few months after reaching their third NBA Finals by trading Luka Doncic to Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis.
The complete trade involves Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to the Mavs in exchange for Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick. Shams Charania announced the trade on ESPN saying "this is real." Two more teams are involved in the trade: the Utah Jazz receive Jalen Hood-Schifino and a second-round pick from the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Clippers receive a second-round pick from the Mavs.
According to Tim MacMahon of ESPN, the Mavs may have made the move due to Luka's physical issues (as if AD doesn't have them) and the uncertainty of him signing the supermax this summer. "I think defense wins championships," said Mavs general manager Nico Harrison to MacMahon regarding their motivation to swap Doncic for Davis. "I think getting an All-Defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We're built to win now and in the future."
