Lakers great Magic Johnson was fired up after hearing the news on Sunday and he shared his feelings about the move in a number of tweets. In one, he compared the trade to when the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani in free agency.

The Lakers might have improved offensively, but they lost two key defenders in the stunning deal and are lacking big men with the trade deadline on Thursday.

As the fallout continues from the blockbuster trade that sent Anthony Davis to Dallas and Luka Doncic to Los Angeles, it's clear that the power centers of both teams have shifted. It's also certain that the truth about LeBron James' role in this deal has consequences nearly as jolting as the trade itself.
