Take the initiative to contact the Lakers! Shams: The Mavericks could have traded Doncic for the first round of 7-8 or even changed letters.

The Lone Ranger fired Harrison. Today, Shams, the famous reporter, talked about the situation on A. Smith's show.
A. Smith: "I have often said, and I will reiterate this now: The core of this deal is Anthony Davis, because they did not put Luka Doncic on the market to seek the best offer, but only contacted the Lakers. Pelinka and Nico Harrison have old friendships, and they completed the swap. Some may say that by sending away Luka Doncic, they could have gotten more than Anthony Davis, Max Christie and More first-round picks in 2029, but they didn't do that. If Nico had stepped back and said, 'Okay, I'm not contacting the Lakers, I'll wait and see what trade chips I can get for Luka,' what kind of deal could the Dallas Mavericks get for Luka Doncic at that time, other than the Anthony Davis deal he finally made?"
Shams: "A lot of draft picks. You get a lot of picks. The Mikal Bridges trade ended up getting four or five first-round picks, and the Desmond Bane trade got four first-round picks. If you just wanted to trade picks, you could have traded Luka Doncic. In exchange for six, seven, eight first-round picks. A few years ago, the Rudy Gobert trade got a lot of chips, I think it was four first-round picks and a few swap rights. If Desmond Bane can get four, Mikal Bu. Riches can trade four or five..."
"So you see, if you want draft picks, you can get that level of chips, or even more. If you want to trade for another player, it may be a little more difficult. You don't know what's on the market, and you have to wait for the player to become available. For example, if they keep Luka Doncic, I heard that Giannis may be traded this summer. Is it possible to trade Luka for Giannis?"Mini-game recommendations:Twist Hit
