The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks pulled off perhaps the most shocking trade in NBA history when they swapped Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis late Saturday evening. The two teams parted ways with two franchise cornerstones while welcoming in another perennial All-Star, with neither player aware of the trade beforehand.

There is tons of excitement and intrigue in the air for the Los Angeles Lakers after they pulled off what is being considered a humongous heist by trading for 25-year-old generational superstar Luka Doncic on Saturday night.

Luka Doncic released an emotional farewell to Dallas on the same day a trade sending him from the Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers in a swap for fellow All-NBA player Anthony Davis was finalized.
