However, the buzz around what might be the biggest NBA trade isn&rsquo;t coming to a rest anytime soon.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Though it looked like both sides seemed to have moved past the trade by locking horns a few days ago, the reality is quite different. The fans, pundits and front office, all are going to talk about it for times to come. Recently, the Lakers&rsquo; Controlling Owner and President Jeanie Buss talked about the trade and took a dig at Anthony Davis, mentioning how his dissatisfaction was one of the biggest reasons for the deal.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Buss appeared in a recent interview with NPR, where she addressed why the franchise came up with a gut-punching decision to let go of their big man.  She admitted that the Lakers were in a dire need of change. She also added that despite having names like LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the side lost to the Denver Nuggets in three consecutive playoff runs.&nbsp;<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;We gave up a lot to get Luka Doncic. We&rsquo;re happy we have him. We have lost the last three years in a row to the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs, and we really didn&rsquo;t have anything that was going to look different going into the playoffs again,&rdquo;<\/em> Jeanie said.<\/p><p>Not only this, but she went on to say that Anthony Davis&rsquo; dissatisfaction with his playing position added fuel to the fire, which is why the side let go of him.<em> &ldquo;Anthony Davis was complaining about where he was being played, and he wasn&rsquo;t happy. So I think this was a positive for both teams,&rdquo;<\/em> Buss added.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Notably, a few days before the trade, Davis appeared in an interview and expressed his desire to play as power forward. The ten-time All-Star wanted <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/im-a-better-player-at-the-4-anthony-davis-sends-strong-message-to-lakers-front-office-to-add-a-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Lakers to get a center <\/a>before the trade deadline.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/want-to-show-why-nico-did-what-he-did-anthony-davis-cannot-wait-to-make-comeback-for-mavericks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>&ldquo;Want to show why Nico did what he did&rdquo;- Anthony Davis cannot wait to make comeback for Mavericks<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/i-didnt-know-had-no-idea-anthony-davis-reflects-on-shocking-trade-to-dallas-mavericks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know, had no idea&rdquo;- Anthony Davis reflects on &lsquo;shocking&rsquo; trade to Dallas Mavericks<\/a><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-img\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Image\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Playoffs-betting-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25831\"><\/a><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lakers hit jackpot by acquiring Luka Doncic<\/h2><p>The trade of Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic turned out to be the right decision for the Lakers. Luka, who returned to the court after a two-month long injury layoff, has had a few underwhelming games with the Lakers. However, the five-time All-Star soon found his old rhythm back and recorded commendable performances.<\/p><p>It seems that the Lakers have finally found the missing piece of their puzzle and are set for this year&rsquo;s playoffs. In nine games that he has played in the gold and purple colors, Luka is averaging 22.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists.&nbsp;<\/p><p>On the other hand, the Mavericks have found themselves struggling ever since the trade. Their newest signing, Anthony Davis, sustained an adductor injury in <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mavericks-vs-rockets-how-many-points-did-anthony-davis-score-on-his-mavericks-debut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>his first game for the Mavericks<\/a>. The injury ruled him out for one month. While the 31-year-old has shown signs of speedy recovery, recent reports have claimed that he might close the ongoing season early after Kyrie Irving&rsquo;s season-ending injury.<\/p><p><\/p>\n<div
