The Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, per Shams

Edit: Full trade:

  • Lakers: Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, Markieff Morris

  • Mavericks: Anthony Davis, Max Christie, 2029 LAL 1st

  • Jazz: Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2025 Clippers 2nd, 2025 Mavericks 2nd”

Edit: need stern do come back and veto this for “basketball reasons” Mavs GM deserves to get fired for this one

Like even if he wanted out and would only resign with the Lakers how do you not get a better return?

Some team would still trade good pieces for him in hope of hanging up a banner and convincing him to stay. The Raptors tried to give Kawhi Stockholm Syndrome.

Lakers robbed Dallas. Silver twisted Cuban's arms to do this.

Didn’t Cuban sell recently or did I imagine that?

Must have some blackmail on him then since this is the worst trade I’ve seen in my life

From what I remember he sold but, was still running the team. And only sold because he was guaranteed full control of the team after the sale.

I could definitely be wrong though so do fact check me.

He sold the majority of his stake a couple years ago but it seems like he is still involved to some extent
