Trade discussions between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves didn't "specifically" involve Luka Dončić before he was moved to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.

The fallout from the massive Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade is still taking place, which puts into perspective just how big of a deal that it was. The Mavericks acted quickly and quietly to move off of their young superstar in favor of a defensive anchor in the middle.

The Dallas team reached out to the Minnesota Timberwolves in an attempt to acquire Anthony Edwards in exchange for Luka Doncic.

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant was direct when assessing his team's 116-98 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. "We didn't play up to our standards at all," he told reporters after the defeat.
