Los Angeles Lakers is 31-19 and currently No. 5 seeds in the western conference. Lakers just drew the biggest blockbuster trade in NBA’s history with Dallas Mavericks. The trade was overwritten with Dallas, who sent guard Luka Doncic to Los Angeles for Frem Fors Anthony Davis.

Doncic is 25 years old and is considered a consensus top three player in the world. He just led the Mavericks to the NBA final last season. Mavericks fans are annoying at this deal and sends their rising star away where they are fresh and lead them to the final. Dalla’s general manager Nico Harrison claimed that Dallas believes in winning championships and Davis certainly brings it.

Davis is also one of the best players in the NBA, but is 31 years old and has had durability problems throughout his career. For Harrison and Mavericks, they need Davis to perform right away and lead them to a championship in the near future, or this trade will forever go down to the notorious Dallas.

If Doncic ends up winning more finals and MVPs for Lakers, Mavericks fans will be sick for their stomach.
