Before the trading deadline of this season, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks completed a major historical transaction. Anthony Davis and Luca Doncic switched teams. After the transaction, they felt that the Lakers won a lot, but when the Mavericks drew the No. 1 pick, there seemed to be no difference between the two teams' trades.

On May 22, Lakers media Laker Tom suggested that the Lakers and Mavericks continue to trade, because the big deal before the trading deadline now seems to be a win-win situation. He wrote: Pelinka and Harrison can rebuild the deal to help Doncic and Davis!

The Lakers got Gafford, Washington, and Christie;

The Mavericks got Reeves, Hachimura, Kneckett, and the Lakers' first round picks in 2029.

He posted the Mavericks' roster after the trade -

PG: Irving, Reeves, Brandon Williams;

SG: Klay Thompson, Kneckett, Hardy;

SF: Flagg, Marshall, Martin;

PF: Davis, Hachimura, Prosper;

C: Levley, Powell, 14.2 million full middle class;

The Lakers' roster after the trade -

PG: Doncic, Vincent, Goodwin;

SG: Christy, Brownie, No. 55 pick;

S F: James, 14.2 million full middle class, 5.7 million middle class special case;

PF: PJ-Washington, Finney Smith, Vanderbilt;

C: Gafford, Hayes, Klebel;

He believes that this deal is a win-win for both teams: 1. Reeves was the team's starting position before Irving's knee recovery, and the Mavericks' goal this summer is to strengthen the number one position, which can satisfy them;

2. What the Lakers want is to strengthen the number five position and the wing defenders, and this deal is perfectly matched by Washington, Christie, and Gafford;
