Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka has released his first public statement since the Lakers shockingly traded Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic late Saturday evening.
In a three team trade that also included the Utah Jazz, the Mavericks sent Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris for Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, while the Jazz received Jalen Hood-Schifino and a 2025 second-round pick from each team.
