The NBA landscape has completely changed after an early morning blockbuster three-team trade that is one of the most shocking in league history.
The Mavericks are sending Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Lakers while Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick are going to Dallas, according to multiple reports.
The Jazz are the third team in the deal and are acquiring guard Jalen Hood-Schifino and two 2025 second-round draft picks from the Clippers and Mavericks.

Seems to be a common theme in DALLAS sports................
Mavs are moving to Vegas.
Mavs weren’t going to pay that kind of money for a guy who doesn’t play defense, and balloons up to 270 pounds, because he’s got a real bad drinking problem.
Lakers won’t do squat, they have no defensive players.
We just had a tacoma hotshotted to us. Driver was 7’ + Serbian. We talked American Football. Nice kid.
I’ve never heard he has a drinking problem. He could have been MVP the last two years. No way is 31-year-old Davis a gg\ood trade for him.
Oh yeah? (I just snorted and giggled). I don’t hate Marc Cuban, but I don’t care for basketball other than one on one in the driveway/court
Cuban always makes me snortgiggle because he seems to be a doofus.
If the NBA commissioner wouldn't allow the Chris Paul trade, they should nix this trade.
I must admit, I’ve paid little attention to the NBA this year, but I’m pleasantly surprised at how the Pistons are doing this year.
Luka Doncic chilling with his dad and a beer, when Michael Finley (Mavs VP of basketball operations) takes it away. Doncic has a weight and conditioning problem, and the cause is rumored to be alcohol.
I think it speaks to some reason we don’t know about the Mavericks were sick of Doncic and decided to get rid of him.
IMO, the NBA has gotten so ridiculous with the salaries and guaranteed contracts the players control what games they are going to play in and for how many minutes.
I read where Joel Embiid the center for the 76ers is making over 50 million per year and has missed 50% of the games since he’s been in the league and then I read he’s missing rehab sessions and not working out to get back on the floor.
He’s making over 50 million per year and has several more years on his contract which is guaranteed and given his durability makes him less desirable to other teams in terms of a trade.
I suspect Doncic is the same way.
Bfl
Yeah.
I might put on my Piston shorts.
And I’ve got some Piston socks and Piston shoes.
Cuban is an idiot savant.
“Wy would a team trade the player that carried the team, for an older, spent player?”
I think we now know why Anthony Davis didn’t play against the Knicks last night. He was reported out with an injury.
Their coach and team got tired of Doncic’s constant complaining and crying to refs. He is the biggest crybaby in the NBA. During their playoff run last year, he missed a lot of the Mavs’ defensive action because he was complaining to refs. It happened on almost every play. Word is the team had to get on him. Commentators and writers were also all over him for his whining. The guy is a baby.
... who are these people ??
You added an extra word there
Blockbuster?!?
Really. People are lining up around the block because of this ?!?
Ugh.
