One of the most shocking trades in NBA history is taking place, as the Lakers are sending 10-time All-Star big man Anthony Davis to the Mavericks for superstar guard Luka Doncic.
The three-team blockbuster also includes the Jazz, four more players and three future draft picks.

Someone substitute every player / pick in here and make sense of it in NHL terms…
I don’t know enough about hockey to give you names, but Doncic is a top-five player who’s 25 years old (L.A. is also getting salary filler). Davis is a top-10 player who’s 31, and Dallas is also getting a young role player and a future first-round pick. Both star players have battled injuries.
Not a perfect comparison, but it’s kinda like if Draisaitl was traded for Kucherov or something of that magnitude.
McDavid and Lucic for Kucherov, Cirelli, and a 1st
Stars trade Jason Robertson to the Kings for Drew Doughty and the Outlaws are involved for the lols.
Why is this article copy pasta’d across all the TR sites? If you’re a basketball fan or anyone who remotely cares you will have heard of this already lol.
“If this news doesn’t interest you, please ignore this post” is the most ridiculous final sentence of a post that you know your target audience isn’t interested in. Just don’t post it lol.
Spot on. Posted, knowing that it may not be well received by the hockey crowd.
98% of people on this site won’t care about this post at all, myself included. This is ProHockeyRumors not ProHoops. If I cared about Doncic vs Davis I would follow your ProHoops site, not the other 3. Appreciate everything your teams do, but posting this here is a joke. Keep it to the sport intended please. Would anyone in the hoops site really care if a major NHL player got traded? Probably not, and if they did, they’d head to the prohockey website to discuss it, not discuss it on the inappropriate site.
