It’s still early, and sweeping conclusions are unjustified, but so far, the Lakers have won the trade – on court and in court of public opinion.

Following the announcement, a new video of Davis surfaced on social media, fueling excitement about his eventual return. The clip, taken before the Mavericks' game against the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on Sunday, shows Davis warming up and getting shots up—an encouraging sign for Dallas fans eager to see him back on the court.
