NBA trade frenzy has started well before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline, as All-NBA players Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis and De'Aaron Fox have already found new destinations. The Los Angeles Lakers' acquisition of Doncic will go down as one of the most shocking and consequential trades in NBA history.

The NBA is more interesting today, following the trade of the century, than it was even a week ago. Here’s to more madness ahead.

In the backdrop of the aftermath of the Lakers’ hectic last couple of days will be the second “Battle of L.A.” of the season after the Clippers won the first matchup, 116-102, on Jan. 19 in the Lakers’ first visit at Intuit Dome.
