Jeanie Buss and the Los Angeles Lakers made one of the biggest trades in NBA history by acquiring Luka Doncic in exchange for Anthony Davis. A move that has enraged thousands of Dallas Mavericks fans.
However, that is not Buss’s problem. The Lakers have been revamped, and as of now, they are the No.2 seed in the Western Conference. A few weeks ago, no one took them seriously. Now, they seem like the most dangerous contender for the Thunder.
LeBron James has perfectly understood his role in JJ Redick’s new offense, allowing Doncic to be the leader in terms of ball possession. Now, just when everything seemed to be flowing smoothly, Jeanie has made a shocking statement about Davis that has sparked great controversy.
What did Jeanie Buss say about Anthony Davis?
Jeanie Buss said that Anthony Davis was not happy with his role on the Lakers, which is why the star was traded to the Mavericks. However, the team president’s stance has not been taken very seriously, as, in reality, Nico Harrison shopped Luka Doncic because he no longer wanted him in Dallas.
“We have lost the last three years in a row to the Nuggets in the playoffs, and we really didn’t have anything that was going to look different. Anthony Davis was complaining about where he was being played and he wasn’t happy. So, I think this was a positive for both teams. They got what they were looking for. We got what we were looking for. I didn’t realize it was going to be international news like it was, but that’s the power of the Laker brand and its ability to draw big names who want to write their own chapter in Lakers history.”
