It was described as the most shocking trade in NBA history when the Dallas Mavericks swapped Luka Doncic for Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis. It was a trade that nobody saw coming, not even Luka Doncic.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd wasn't upset when he was initially told that Luka Doncic was going to be traded an hour before it was announced to the public. It's not because the Hall of Famer wasn't sad because of the departure of the Slovenian native but more so that he knew he had no control over Mavs general manager Nico Harrison's decision.

It’s a much brighter headline for the Mavs than the previous one that had haunted them over the past few months—the decision to trade away superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Since the trade, fans have protested and called for the job of general manager Nico Harrison.
