The Lakers wouldn't have been as willing to trade Anthony Davis as the Mavericks may be.
Just when it seemed as though the Atlanta Hawks could finally separate themselves from Luka Doncic, he's offered them one last parting gift. The Hawks infamously traded Doncic for Trae Young on the night of the 2018 NBA Draft, and have now parted with their franchise player.
Atlanta already has its next move lined up, however, with Anthony Davis appearing to be the star they're hoping to bring in to anchor the interior—a trade made possible by Doncic.
