The Dallas Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and a 2029 first-round pick in a three-team deal also involving the Utah Jazz, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Saturday night.

Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris are heading to the Lakers while Max Christie heads to Dallas.

The Jazz are set to receive Jalen Hood-Schifino, the 2025 Clippers second-round pick, and a 2025 second-round pick from the Mavs.

"I believe that defense wins championships," Mavs general manager Nico Harrison told ESPN's Dave McMenamin regarding his motivation to trade Doncic for Davis. "I believe that getting an All-Defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We're built to win now and in the future."
