That’s what makes Dončić-for-Davis the most stunning trade in NBA history: Sheer surprise. No rumblings, no warnings, no whining by one, the other or both to play elsewhere. No imminent free agency, at least, and plenty of work still undone where each had been playing. Now, poof! Everything is different. Breathtaking.

As Los Angeles Lakers fans process the stunning trade for Luka Dončić, they can rest easy on one thing: LeBron James reportedly isn't going anywhere. James plans to stay with Los Angeles beyond Thursday's trade deadline, per multiple reports.
