Before Luka Doncic was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, discussions were had to send him to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Dallas Mavericks and Timberwolves had informal trade talks that centered around a swap of Doncic for Wolves star Anthony Edwards.
Dallas reportedly reached out to see if Minnesota would be willing to trade Edwards. While the Timberwolves told Nico Harrison that Edwards was off limits, the team was reportedly stunned to find out Doncic was available.
The Mavericks ultimately traded Doncic to the Lakers for a package centered around Anthony Davis.
