It has been 3½ weeks since the trade. Davis says he processed it almost immediately and understood it was “the nature of the business.”

So much so, that even Davis, who now plies his trade with the Dallas Mavericks, himself was left in shock when he first learned about the news. This is exactly why the first thing he did was call LeBron James to ask the prominent Lakers superstar if he knew anything about it.

I just don’t believe it. But, hey man, I’m past that. I’m ready to move forward with Dallas, try to get a championship there with these guys.
