The trade, finalized on February 2, 2025, involved a three-team deal with the Utah Jazz. The Lakers acquired Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris, while the Mavericks received Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick.

Now, Almansa isn't as young (19) or as big (6'10"), but he also isn't as raw. He has intriguing ball skills as both a high-post playmaker and a face-up attacker, and he shows soft touch on in-between shots like hooks and floaters. His motor runs high on the glass and the defensive end, too.
