The Slovenian is considered one of the main talents of the League and ended third in the MVP vote last year.
Davis is also having a highly productive season for the Lakers, with an average of 25.7 points and 11.9 rebounds per game, although it is significantly greater than Doncic at 31.
Davis lost his team's victory against the Knicks on Saturday night with an abdominal injury, while Christie played and scored 15 points.
Doncic, meanwhile, has not played from Christmas day after leaving the game of his team against the Timberwolves with a tension in the calf.
The exchange can have a serious price for Doncic, who now cannot sign a five -year supermax contract extension this summer that could have earned around $ 345 million.
It was never clear if the MAVs would have offered such a massive treatment. Doncic would also have had the option of leaving as a free agent after the 2025-26 season, and it is certain that other teams hoping to land the Slovenian star would have planned for such scenarios.
Doncic is still eligible for an extension this summer, with the maximum that the Lakers could offer him that he is five years old with about $ 230 million, a difference of $ 115 million that the Supermax could have been.
It was reported that Doncic would be decapitated Los Angeles shortly after midnight on Saturday

Officially it was a concern for Doncic's defense, and not its conditioning, which led Harrison to change the 25 -year offensive wizard for 10 times Althony Davis, Guard Rising Max Christie and a future first round selection.
“I think the defense wins championships,” said the general manager of the MAVs, Nico Harrison, Tim Macmahon from ESPN, who was the first to inform the weight of 270 pounds of Doncic. 'I think that obtaining a defense center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mentality gives us a better opportunity. We are built to win now and in the future.
The agreement combines Doncic with LeBron James as the new Punch 1-2 in Los Angeles, while Davis would be forming a new star duo with Kyrie Irving in Dallas. And gather Doncic with his former teammate, Lakers coach JJ Redick.
Doncic was one of the Mavericks players on the floor when Redick left a game for the last time on May 11, 2021.
