Mats Hummels posts hilarious comment as Dallas Mavericks send Luka Doncic to LA Lakers for Anthony Davis

AS Roma defender Mats Hummels has shared a hilarious take on the Dallas Mavericks' decision to send Luka Doncic to the LA Lakers in return for Anthony Davies. NBA fans were shocked when they learned of the news on Saturday, February 1.

25-year-old Doncic was supposed to be the face of the Mavericks for years, but will now play for Lakers instead. Mavericks, in return, are getting the 31-year-old Davies, who was expected to lead the Lakers in the coming years.

While it looks like the Mavericks could immediately benefit from the move this year, the Lakers will surely be getting the better long-term deal. Doncic is a five-time All-Star and also one of the best players of his generation.

Mats Hummels took to Twitter to share his take on the entire episode, posting:

"Thank god you can‘t get traded like this as a football/soccer player!"

The German defender rose through the ranks at Bayern Munich before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2009. Hummels transformed into one of the best defenders in the world at the Signal Iduna Park.

The 36-year-old returned to the Allianz Arena in 2016 and spent three campaigns with the Bavarians. He headed back to Borussia Dortmund for a second stint in 2019, before leaving the BVB last summer to move to AS Roma. The German currently plies his trade with the Serie A giants.
