Not everybody believes that LeBron James had no idea this trade was coming, as people have called him "LeGM" for years. But the stories between Rob Pelinka, Nico Harrison, Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James all match up - no one outside of the GMs and owners were in on this until the end.

The is no precedent for what the Dallas Mavericks just did. Trading Luka Doncic feels like it will go down as one of the worst days in Mavericks basketball for Dallas fans, as the trajectory and future of this franchise has been forever changed with a nearly unbelievable deal.

Anthony Davis gave up a $6 million bonus as part of the seismic trade that brought him to the Dallas Mavericks and sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a rare swap of superstars. Perhaps it was the first small step for the 10-time All-Star in trying to illustrate his understanding of the magnitude of a move that infuriated fans of his new team.
