Not sure @kobebryant collectors will get too excited about this one ... but there’s pretty much nothing I’d rather show 10-year-old me if I had a time machine. You are too much, @PaniniAmerica!!!

Luka Dončić did NOT request a trade, league sources tell @TheSteinLine. The Mavericks did this on their own accord, getting back Anthony Davis but only one future first-round pick from the Lakers in 2029 for a 25-year-old regarded as a future MVP. More NBA from me;

We didn't hear Dallas complain about it until the Mavericks were seventh in the West, which was poor form, and the same holds true now with the Lakers: It rings hollow to protest only when your team is suddenly at risk of having to play the play-in round.

Dončić has been informed of the trade, I'm told, which was agreed upon late Saturday and immediately ranks as one of the most stunning trade thunderbolts in NBA history.

The Mavericks are indeed, without warning, trading Luka Dončić to the Lakers in a three-team deal that will bring Anthony Davis to Dallas, two sources close to the talks confirm. More NBA from me: tinyurl.com/yrmzrx83
