Luka Doncic is joining LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers in a surprising three-team trade. Anthony Davis is heading to Dallas as part of the deal, which was announced shortly after LeBron James put on another spectacular performance, scoring 33 points and leading the Lakers to victory over the New York Knicks.
LeBron James had another impressive performance for the LA Lakers on Saturday, but the spotlight quickly shifted to a blockbuster three-team NBA trade involving Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic . News of the surprising deal, which will also send Anthony Davis to Dallas, broke early Sunday in the US, as the deadline for this year's trade period neared.
A source familiar with the agreement revealed that Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris would join the Lakers, while Davis and Max Christie would head to Dallas. The source spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team could officially announce the deal until it received league approval.In a separate trade completed over the weekend, Australian NBA veteran Patty Mills signed with his seventh team in 16 years. Like Doncic, 25, Mills, 36, is heading to LA but will be playing for the Clippers after being traded from the Utah Jazz. Davis, 31, has been averaging 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.1 blocks across 42 games (all starts) this season. Meanwhile, LeBron James continued to defy Father Time, putting on a show at Madison Square Garden. Even at 40 years old, James showed no signs of slowing down. Before the trade news broke, James scored 33 points, added 12 assists, and 11 rebounds, recording his 10th triple-double of the season. This performance helped the Lakers secure a 128-112 victory over the New York Knicks, adding another memorable chapter to James' career at the iconic arena. The NBA scoring record holder has proven that he remains a dominant force on the court, leading the Lakers to victory and leaving fans in awe of his longevity and skill
