The 6-foot-10 Kentucky product, 32, was traded to the Mavericks as the returning centerpiece in a deal that saw five-time All-NBA First Team guard Luka Doncic, 26, land with Davis' old Lakers running mate LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers.

After being traded by the Lakers to the Mavericks in the Luka Doncic trade, does Anthony Davis still have a relationship with LeBron James?

ESPN's Shams Charania reported that James and Davis both had "no idea" that the trade was occurring until it was finalized. The NBA's all-time leading scorer revealed that the first thing he did after news of the trade broke was talk to his former co-star.
