Anthony Davis Still Stunned After Lakers Trade for Luka Doncic

Anthony Davis said he was stunned to learn he was traded from the Lakers to the Mavericks in the Luka Doncic deal. On The Draymond Green Show he reenacted Nico Harrison's call: "Yeah, I told you I was gonna come get you one day, I wanted you," and replied "Huh?!" He thought it was a joke until Shams Charania's tweet confirmed it and he felt "my heart is in my stomach." Davis accepted the business logic, "Luka is f--king Luka," but said he "deserved much more respect for all the time I've been there." Merlin sees a veteran hurt more by the silence than the swap. The deal makes sense on paper but sloppy communication damages trust and locker room morale. Front offices will be watched. How teams handle stars after moves may matter as much as the moves themselves.
