Summary

Blockbuster doesn't describe it. The Lakers and Dallas Mavericks have agreed to one of the most stunning trades in any sport, anywhere. LA sends Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first round pick to Dallas for Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris. (LA also moves Jalen Hood-Schifino and the remaining second rounders they had to Utah, who popped in to help facilitate the deal and get some stuff for their troubles.) It's impossible to understate how stunning a deal this is. The Mavs are moving a 25 year old perennial All NBA performer, a guy who finished 3rd in MVP voting last year and was on track to challenge for it again this year before a calf injury took him off track. This does not happen. Why did they do it? Reportedly because they wanted to get better defensively (hence the acquisitions of Davis and Christie) but mostly because they think he's too big a risk for the massive contract he's about to receive, because of consistent questions about his fitness and work ethic. So if they're right? The Lakers are in for a frustrating few years. If they're wrong? The Lakers have a generational superstar, and completely chance the arc of the post-LeBron era. What does it mean for this season? It's hard to say. First, because the Lakers still have a few days to make more moves. Second, because it's such a huge change that it's hard to know what the team will look like when Doncic takes the floor. They're certainly weaker defensively, though likely more dynamic on the other end. Losing Christie hurts. They need another wing, they BADLY need center help. But this trade doesn't seem like it's about this season, but the future. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
