Los Angeles is no stranger to glitz, glamor and massive sporting events, and Tuesday night is no exception as the Dallas Mavericks face off against Luka Dončić and the Lakers for the first time since the Slovenian’s trade to LA.

People within the league continue to believe that Dallas made a grave mistake in dealing its young superstar. Tuesday's game showed why.

Weeks before trading Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package headlined by Anthony Davis, Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison reached out to the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick.
