The field marshal of the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, was like the rest of the sport world on Sunday morning when he knew that the Dallas Mavericks exchanged Luka Doncic to Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers acquired five times All-Star, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first round of 2029. The Utah Jazz also participated in the trade, acquiring Jalen Hood-Schifinio and a future selection of second round.

He was far from being the only one who was surprised by the deal.
Doncic had been out of the alignment of the Mavericks from Christmas when he left the game with a tense calf. Now it is prevented from signing a five -year supermax contract extension that would have validated $ 345 million. It is still eligible for a lucrative extension with the maximum of $ 230 million.

“There are other teams that were being loaded,” said the General Manager of the Mavericks, Nico Harrison. “I was going to be able to make his own decision at some point in whether he wants to be here or not, if we want Supermaxlo or not, or if he wants to choose not to participate. We had to have all that in consideration. And I feel that we left in front of what I could to have been a tumultuous summer. “
Doncic is only 25 years old and has been one of the best players since Dallas acquired it in an exchange of Draft Day with the Atlanta Hawks in 2018.
