Now he'll be able to make some of it back with likely more endorsement money in LA, but still a pretty massive financial hit for Luka here. Mavs really must have grown to hate him.

Good points. I guess they didn’t want the hoopla and critique by dangling him out there, and Davis fit the bill of what they wanted, but certainly they should’ve received more for giving up such a young franchise player in his prime. Davis isn’t carrying a team I don’t think. They could’ve even got Giannis if they wanted.
