[Bontemps] It also makes one wonder about whether Dereck Lively could be a possible option in trades this week. Not only does Dallas have Daniel Gafford to play alongside Davis

[Townsend] I'm told that this was Nico Harrison's deal, that it took several weeks to play out after the Mavericks reached out to the Lakers, and that Harrison got full support from Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont.

[Windhorst] “I had a current NBA All-Star text me and say, ‘Do you know how much the Mavericks must hate Luka?’”

[Bruce Arthur] There are three players in the league I wouldn’t trade for Luka: Jokic, Shai, Wemby. That’s the list. The Mavs didn’t get all the Lakers picks; they didn’t get Austin Reaves; they didn’t go to auction. Luka better look like late-era Elvis by Christmas or this deal is cooked

Mark Cuban in 2020: If I had to choose between my wife and keeping Luka on the Mavs, catch me at my lawyers office preparing for a divorce

[Quick] How did Devin Booker find out about the trade? "Someone told us on the bench, (they) said 'Luka'," Booker said. "And I said, ‘Luka Garza? Who got traded?' No shade to (Garza). But crazy."

Marc Stein: I reported earlier this season telling in an interview with me that Mark Cuban does not have the amount of operational control as he anticipated. This was Nico and the front office and it was their determination that it is better to build around an Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving duo.

[Haynes] On Mavericks initiating talks with Lakers and why a Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis trade was pulled off:

[Fischer] Dallas had contacted several teams this week, looking to reroute additional salary for a potential three-team deal, sources said. A bunch of teams knew inklings about the Mavericks being close on a trade. Nobody knew it was trading Luka Doncic.

[Charania] The Mavericks knew exactly who they wanted. If they were ever going to trade Doncic, it was for AD. So they called the Lakers and the Lakers had to huddle. They've never offered AD ever. But if you're ever going to get offered Doncic,that's when Jeanie Buss, Pelinka and others had to meet

[Gozlan] Anthony Davis has a 15% trade bonus worth $8 million that he's waiving per @ChrisBHaynes. It would've raised cap hits through 2027 each by $2.6 million. This allows the Dallas Mavericks to get below the luxury tax this season.

[Larsen] Jazz are sending out $55K to each of the Lakers and Mavericks, a league source says.

[Siegel] Luka Doncic didn't know about this trade. LeBron James didn't know about this trade. Anthony Davis didn't know about this trade. Nico Harrison and Rob Pelinka have turned what was supposed to be a "dead deadline" into one of the most historic trades ever.
