Round 5: Tossup 6

Note to players: description acceptable. This event occurred without input from a man who had previously claimed that he would rather divorce his wife than do it. At a press conference after this event, Rick Welts recalled a similar event involving Monta (“MON-tay”) Ellis. A slew of injuries to players like Daniel Gafford and Dante Exum caused speculation that this event had (*) cursed one of the teams involved. The crowd at Crypto.com (-5[1])Arena chanted “thank you, Nico!” at a game where one player involved in this (10[1])event recorded a triple-double against his old (10[1])team. For 10 points, describe this blockbuster trade in which the Lakers sent Anthony Davis to the Mavericks for a (10[1])Slovenian superstar. (10[1]0[1])■END■
