The Dallas Mavericks approached the Los Angeles Lakers over a trade involving Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis "a few days ago," according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
"The Mavericks went out, they knew exactly who they wanted. They wanted Anthony Davis. That's a player that if they were ever going to trade Luka Doncic...it was for AD. The Mavericks called the Lakers, offered Luka Doncic, and that's when the Lakers had to huddle internally. They've never offered Anthony Davis ever in a trade," said Charania.
Charania added that Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss met to discuss the Doncic offer.
Doncic, Davis, and James reportedly had no idea that a team was being discussed.
The Mavs were looking to deal Doncic after being frustrated with his lack of conditioning.
