Nico Harrison pulled off one of the most stunning trades in NBA history, sending beloved Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package including Anthony Davis and Max Christie. Almost immediately, everyone was shocked, with a lot of NBA historians calling it the most surprising trade in NBA history.

The Trail Blazers would likely want to make room to have more minutes for Donovan Clingan, who they recently selected early in the 2024 NBA Draft. For the Lakers, meanwhile, Ayton could have at least some tangible valuable as a player who has postseason experience and tremendous size on the inside.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been widely crowned the winners in the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade, but Shaquille O'Neal believes it is the Dallas Mavericks who have come out on top.
