T he Los Angeles Lakers were so excited to land Luka Dončić in a February trade that what they gave up has largely been glossed over. Anthony Davis may not have been the 25-year

When asked, Doncic and everyone else will play down the entire idea of revenge, but there is no doubt. Everyone knows what is going on. Doncic thought he would spend his entire career in Dallas and, on Feb. 2, unceremoniously had that rug (and tens of millions of dollars) pulled out from under him with a stunning trade to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Davis did not play on Tuesday night as he recovers from an adductor strain, but that didn't keep the Lakers from honoring him with a tribute.
