The Los Angeles Lakers were the team that benefited from one of the wildest trades in NBA history. They were able to score Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks. That trade shifted the balance of power in the Western Conference.

The Giannis Antetokounmpo rumors have run rampant over the past few weeks after the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs again. However, while the rumors are prevalent, Antetokounmpo has yet to request a trade.

The Los Angeles Lakers hit the jackpot when the Dallas Mavericks came calling to offer young superstar Luka Doncic. While there are no signs that the Lakers are anything but loyal to Luka, the growing uncertainty regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo's future has given the Lakers a unique opportunity.
