Utah Jazz general manager Justin Zanik was very candid in his recent assessment of the trade that send Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Zanik and the Jazz were involved as a third team to facilitate the blockbuster trade that saw the Dallas Mavericks ship Doncic to the Lakers.

It's been two weeks since the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers got together for one of the most stunning trades in history, but it's important to remember that Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis never could've swapped teams were it not for the cooperation of the Utah Jazz.
