Anthony Davis commented for the first time on Monday since the blockbuster trade which saw him move from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Luka Dončić.

The unfathomable trade has certainly shaken up the NBA, but Davis, a longtime close friend of LeBron James, acknowledged that he understands the business side of basketball. It was surely an unexpected move, but he made clear he's looking forward to competing with the Mavericks, where he'll team up with Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson.

The Lakers and Mavericks have reportedly combined for a stunning trade that will send Luka Dončić to Los Angeles in exchange for Anthony Davis and others.
