The 25 -year -old Slovenian must therefore evolve alongside LeBron James under the colors of the Californian franchise while Davis, 31, must make the opposite way to join Kyrie Irving in Texas, as part of a thunderous exchange between two of the NBA's largest stars. The Lakers seem to ensure the future with a possible heir to LeBron James (40), who led Dallas to the NBA final last year and who has already played the All Star Game five times.<\/p>\n

For their part, the Mavericks strengthen their defense to better target the title. “I think it's defense that wins a championship”<\/em>said on ESPN the general manager of the Texan franchise Nico Harrison. “I think we will have more likely (to win the NBA title) with one of the best pivots and simply one of the best NBA players focused on the defense. We are now built to win now and in the future”<\/em>he added. The exchange between these behemoths was announced shortly after the Lakers' victory in New York (128-112), deprived of Anthony Davis on an abdominal lesion.<\/p>\n

Dononic, for his part, has not played since Christmas due to a calf injury. Engaged by Atlanta at the 2018 Draft, he had immediately joined Dallas for whom he displays this season on average per match 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists. Davis had joined the Lakers in 2019, winning the NBA title in 2020. He was selected nine times for the All Star Game and displays on average per game 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists since the start of the season. The announcement has aroused many reactions from players on social networks. “It's an April Fool, is that it?”<\/em>wrote on X <\/a>American leader Jalen Brunson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
