Doncic, who arrived in the stunning trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks, will now be the face of the Lakers' franchise moving forward. He'll partner with LeBron James to create a dynamic duo in the present but make no mistake, this is his team now.

As Anthony Davis gets ready to start his new chapter with the Dallas Mavericks, he took some time to write a heartfelt farewell message to Los Angeles after being traded from the Lakers in a blockbuster deal for Luka Doncic.

In the backdrop of the aftermath of the Lakers’ hectic last couple of days will be the second “Battle of L.A.” of the season after the Clippers won the first matchup, 116-102, on Jan. 19 in the Lakers’ first visit at Intuit Dome.
