Anthony Davis says he ‘deserved more respect’ from Lakers in Luka Doncic trade

Anthony Davis is still trying to make sense of how things ended with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Specifically, how little warning he got.

“From the business standpoint I can’t be mad, but like why?” Davis said on Draymond Green‘s podcast, via HoopsHype “Nobody told me nothing. Nobody said a thing to me.”

That’s what bothered him. Davis said he wasn’t given any real heads-up before being dealt in the blockbuster move involving Luka Doncic.

Instead, the call came right before the deal became public.

“I think I deserve much more respect than that,” Davis said. “All the time I’ve been there… we won a championship… and I can’t get a phone call or a text?”

That part hasn’t sat well.

“And it never got to me or like, ‘Hey, this is what we’re thinking,’” he added. “So I think that’s the biggest thing that kind of messed with me this entire time.”
