The Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers completed their historic NBA. Both Anthony Davis moved to Mavs and Luka Doncic found his new home in California.
The trade took fans by total surprise together with analysts and media personnel. The negotiations regarding the trade took place outside of player knowledge.
The deal remained hidden from such extent that even the players’ advisory team members remained uninformed.
Rich Paul as agent for Davis had no information regarding the trade. The trade between the Lakers and Mavericks would never have occurred if he had more advance knowledge about it according to those reports.
“I say 99.9% of the time, I know what’s going on. The one time I didn’t know was the one time we all didn’t know.” Paul said.
“I’m glad I didn’t because it probably wouldn’t have happened if I had known,” Paul added.
Paul needs his representatives to team up for his planned deal to take effect. Klutch Sports depends heavily on its two principal managers LeBron and Davis for its operation.
The NBA market value of Los Angeles drives up the worth of both players since they work together there.
Since the Lakers appeared well on their way to securing this season’s championship the unexpected announcement left everyone stunned.
Before the news became public LeBron James along with his agent shared the same ignorance regarding the trade between the Mavericks and the Lakers.
LeBron contentment with Luka Doncic’s arrival yet expressed regret about the departure of his teammate from the previous six years.
The number 23 initially believed the news to be false until it finally became evident to him.
“I thought it was fake, for sure. I thought it was a hoax, that people were joking or something.” LeBron said.
“But then when Anthony Davis video-called me and I talked to him for a long time, and even after I hung up, it still didn’t feel real.” LeBron added.
