Less than eight months after the Finals ended, the Mavericks made the stunning move to acquire Anthony Davis from the Lakers in exchange for Western Conference Finals MVP Luka Doncic. As such, the final regular-season meeting between Dallas and Boston will have a completely different feel from the five Finals matchups.

The unfathomable trade has certainly shaken up the NBA, but Davis, a longtime close friend of LeBron James, acknowledged that he understands the business side of basketball. It was surely an unexpected move, but he made clear he's looking forward to competing with the Mavericks, where he'll team up with Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson.
