Shock waves continue to reverberate around NBA After the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Luka Doncic on Saturday night in exchange for Anthony Davis in What it feels like the most shocking trade in the history of the NBA.
Maybe that’s a recent bias. I am sure that some of the old students will point to the bucks that send to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to appear, the Lakers in 1975, but it is such a different world of news these days. There is simply no way to register the shock of this Doncic agreement. It is really out of the scale.
And these are the shock waves that have great ramifications in Las Vegas. People listen to big names and are caught in the energy of Luka Doncic and LeBron James and believe in (and bet) the Lakers as if they were suddenly a superteam.
That is why the championships of the Lakers 2025 championships in Fanduel have passed +4000 before the exchange to +1800 after the exchange. That means that if I had bet a hundred dollars to the Lakers to win the early title on Saturday, I would have been online to earn $ 4,000 if that miracle really happened. If you put the same $ 100 on Sunday morning, now you are only in line to win $ 1,800.
But, in fact, it is the Mavericks who should obtain the greatest amount of action. I suspect that smart trainers agree with me. People think that the Mavericks screwed in this treatment, Long term they did it absolutely. But in the short term? That is a different story. I really think they are better positioned to win a title this season with Anthony Davis than with Doncic, and yet the probabilities have been the other way.
Before the exchange, the mavericks were +2000 to win this year’s title, which means that if I bet a hundred, I was online to win $ 2,000. After trade, the Mavericks have fallen to +3500, which means that the same bet of $ 100 will now pay you $ 3,500 if Dallas went to the trophy.
That is a great added value for a team that now has an incredible blow from inside Kyrie Irving and Davis and that will be an even greater defensive monster with three feet of seven feet in Davis (perhaps the best defender of the league Called Victor Wembanyama when he is right), Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford. They can play two Big-Big alignments with AD in all four or set up a ton deep of great men that other teams cannot match.
Offensively, Kyrie is having another incredible season and the announcement fits with him as a Pick-And-Vol/Pop partner fantastically. Not to mention that the announcement of shots now has around him with Irving, Klay Thompson, Quentin Grimes and PJ Washington.
Sportsline projections agree with me, saying that the possibilities of the Mavericks to win the 2025 title have increased from 1.31% before the operation to 4.85% after trade, while the possibilities of the Lakers (already tiny) are They have reduced.

Do what you want with your money, but keep in mind: Mavericks are a better team than today’s Lakers, even if they should never have made this exchange in the general landscape. You are obtaining free value in Dallas here. It is not a suggestion that the Mavericks are going to win the title, but the risk/reward relationship swing much in favor. For the Lakers, despite the need to mount the big names, it was in the other way. Don’t be a fool. Bet accordingly.
