The recent blockbuster trade between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers has sent shockwaves through the NBA. Superstars Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis have swapped teams, a move that surprised many, including Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Caldwell-Pope, who previously played alongside Davis on the Lakers, expressed his disbelief at the trade, mentioning he always envisioned Doncic as the next Dirk Nowitzki for Dallas.

In a light-hearted remark, Caldwell-Pope humorously noted that he never expected the Lakers to part ways with Davis, who has a history of success in Los Angeles, including an NBA Championship in 2020. Caldwell-Pope recently spoke with Davis, conveying his congratulations and excitement for Davis's new chapter with the Mavericks, marking the third team in his illustrious career.
