Breaking down the stunning 3-team trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Mavericks—news that took the NBA world by storm when it dropped early Sunday morning. The hosts discuss all the details of the trade and its potential impact, from the Lakers' new star in Luka to the Mavericks’ major shakeup.

They take a look at the reasons behind Dallas’ decision to move on from Luka—his weight issues, defensive struggles, and the hesitation to offer him a Supermax extension this summer. Plus, they dive into Mark Cuban’s past comment about choosing Luka over his wife. What does it mean now that the Mavs are officially moving on?

On the Lakers' side, how does Luka’s arrival affect their championship hopes? And with Anthony Davis' rim protection missing now, what does this trade really do for L.A. in the short and long term?

Special guest Ountae Campbell joins the conversation to offer his perspective on the trade and what it means for both teams going forward. In the end, the hosts debate who actually “won” the deal—while it might seem like the Mavericks got the better end now, the Lakers might have the last laugh in the future.

Tune in for a deep dive into this game-changing trade and its far-reaching impact on the NBA landscape. Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe to Boston Has Entered The Chat for more insight and analysis with Travis Thomas & Kasey Hudson!
