Anthony Davis calls out Lakers for treatment during Luka Doncic trade

Anthony Davis isn’t happy with the way that the Los Angeles Lakers handled his trade to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Luka Doncic prior to the trade deadline last season.

After all that he had accomplished with the Lakers, Davis was blindsided by the trade and feels like the Lakers didn’t treat him with the requisite respect throughout the process.

“I had no idea this was happening,” Davis said during a recent appearance on Draymond Green’s podcast, via The Athletic. “And I couldn’t make sense of it. … From a business standpoint, I can’t be mad. But why? It just caught me off guard.

“I still think I deserved much more respect than that,” Davis added. “All the time I’ve been here. S—, I was there six years. We won a championship. All this stuff, and I can’t get a phone call or a text of, ‘This is what we’re thinking.’”
