Kenny Smith on TNT: “When you get AD, you are secure for the next two, three years. It’s a parallel move that could be a positive move with AD. There’s no dropoff because AD is averaging 26, 27 points a game. . . Defensively, he impacts the game differently than Luka, of course, – 7:29 PM

More on this storyline
Mike Curtis: Anthony Davis on walking into a situation where Mavs fans are heartbroken after Luka Doncic was traded to LA: “I understand it. Obviously, it’s a business. I get who Luka was to this franchise & this city. I’m never going to downplay that, just how I know what I meant to the city of LA. I’m not surprised by the fan reaction & city’s reaction. It’s my job to come in & play basketball & do what I’m supposed to do & give the fans hope and assurance on who I am. Idk how tomorrow’s going to be as far as the reaction. I can’t control that. At the end of the day, I’m going to give the city life back. Obviously, it’s a tough transition. It’s a shock to all. My job is to come in & play basketball & win basketball games.” -via Twitter @MikeACurtis2 / February 7, 2025

“Probably a lot of heartbreak amongst the fans,” Klay Thompson said after scoring 25 points in a 127-120 victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Thursday. “Probably some boos. But, as a professional, you have to embrace everything, and we’re paid to play this game and perform at the highest level. “I don’t know what to expect. I know Luka was so dear to every Mavs fan’s heart. We’ve just got to win, and do it on a consistent basis, and give ourselves a chance to win the whole thing, and I think that will ease all of the fans’ pain and anger. “It’s going to be weird, but that’s what we sign up for.” -via ESPN / February 7, 2025
