'Thank god you can't get traded!' - Roma defender Mats Hummels reacts to incredible NBA trade as Dallas Mavericks send Luka Doncic to LA Lakers for Anthony Davis

Serie A

Roma

Monza

<p>The LA Lakers and last season's NBA finalists Dallas Mavericks announced a major trade between the two sides and the Utah Jazz. The Mavs have agreed to trade Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round selection, with the Jazz serving as a third party to arrange the transaction. Roma defender Mats Hummels has now reacted to the move.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>On X [formerly Twitter], Hummels reacted to the NBA trade: "Thank god you can‘t get traded  like this as a football/soccer player."</p>

WHAT HUMMELS SAID

<p>The move has shocked fans all around the world as well as Davis' teammate, NBA legend and Liverpool minority owner LeBron James. Reports in the NBA circuit had suggested that the four-time NBA champion was 'frustrated' with Davis at the Lakers, which may have triggered the move. However, James was quick to refute the reports.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">You a fkn lie!!! 🤥🤡 <a href="https://t.co/EYNRUbUFmj">https://t.co/EYNRUbUFmj</a></p>— LeBron James (@KingJames) <a href="https://twitter.com/KingJames/status/1885945166017548409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 2, 2025</a></blockquote>
