In response to the Los Angeles Lakers’ historic trade with the Mavs, Jeanie Buss

Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off one of the biggest trades in NBA history when they landed Luka Doncic (via the Dallas Mavericks).

The story still remains at the top of the headlines nearly two weeks after the deal.

Via Lakers.com (on February 2): “The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired five-time First Team All-NBA guard Luka Dončić, forward/center Maxi Kleber and forward/center Markieff Morris from the Dallas Mavericks in a three-team trade. In return, the Lakers sent forward Anthony Davis, guard Max Christie and a future first round draft pick to the Dallas Mavericks, while guard Jalen Hood-Schifino and a future second round pick were sent to the Utah Jazz.”

Recently, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss spoke about the deal (via Entertainment Tonight).

Buss: “Luka is a very special player. We’re thrilled to have him as part of the Laker team, but we had to give up a lot to get him. We’re going to miss Anthony Davis and Max Christie. It’s like you’re always trying to improve the team, get a little bit better and, ultimately, win a championship.”

Doncic had spent part of seven seasons in Dallas.

At just 25, he is already seen as one of the best players in NBA history.

The five-time NBA All-Star has career averages of 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 46.9% from the field and 34.7% from the three-point range in 424 games.

The Lakers have gone 1-1 in the two games they have played with Doncic.
