To settle everything, Utah Jazz acquired Jalen Hood-Schifino and two second round choices.
The Shams of Espn Charania broke the job early Sunday morning, and due to the involved Starpower, the immediate reaction was that the journalist had been hacked. However, it was later confirmed by several other points of sale.
Charania reported that the MAVs had approached Los Angeles recently, saying that their 25 -year -old global superstar was available via trade; Dallas director general, Nico Harrison, told ESPN that he was concerned about the defense of the team, who is now massively improved by replacing Dončić by Davis.

But Dončić is a phenomenon, and a young person. The Slovenian led the NBA with 33.4 points per game last season and will not have 26 years later this month. During his career, he has an average of 28.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.3 assists, putting himself in the MVP conversation each year of his young career.
It was also reported that LeBron James discovered the trade only a short time before the news had passed, when he was released in New York shortly after his Lakers defeated the New York Knicks – Davis was considered inactive for the game.
Davis, a defensive player candidate last year last year, exceeds 25.7 points and 11.9 rebounds this season, both slightly better than his career averages of 24.2 and 10.7.

The Mavericks lost in the NBA final last year, and Dončić received criticism for his defense and his attitude. Perhaps there is more in history than what is public at the moment.
