Wow.

That's what everyone has been saying since Shams Charania of ESPN dropped late at night that the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, and Utah Jazz engaged in a blockbuster three-team trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Mavericks and Luka Doncic to the Lakers.

Needless to say, this is a massive trade that will not just change the game plan for both teams, but also the landscape of the Western Conference and, arguably, the entire NBA.

What's particularly surprising in this trade is that Davis and Doncic were not told about the trade beforehand. Additionally, Lakers star LeBron James also didn't know about the trade before it happened.
