Harrison told reporters Monday the Mavs want defense to be "our calling card," so the franchise "jumped" at the chance to acquire Anthony Davis from the Los Angeles Lakers. Harrison is nothing if not consistent.

Anthony Davis had a chance to speak to Luka Doncic after the Los Angeles Lakers' win over the Dallas Mavericks.

The deal brought Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick to Dallas. However, the haul feels pretty light considering Doncic is about to enter his prime. Other standouts around the league such as Mikal Bridges and Kevin Durant brought in far more draft assets in their respective trades.
