A wave of shock and awe has descended upon the NBA over the past 24 hours as the Dallas Mavericks did the unthinkable by trading away perennial All-Star and last year's scoring champion Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis,

The part that really matters here, the part that is indefensibly baffling, is that the Mavericks traded away Luka Doncic. Doncic is a top-5, and arguably top-3, NBA player, just entering his prime, coming off five straight All-NBA First Team selections. He took the Mavericks to the NBA Finals less than a year ago.

In the most shocking trade in Mavericks and perhaps NBA history, Dallas is sending 25-year-old superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster that brings perennial All-Star Anthony Davis to the Mavericks.
