It said, “I arrived here six years ago with the goal of winning a championship, and I will always remember that moment!
“Like all other businesses, the basketball industry is a business.” I will always have a place in the city where my first ring originated, and I am thankful for the opportunity to grow my family and friendships there.
We continue to think about those who lost their homes in the fires, and my family and I are grateful to everyone who helped make this place a home.
To my teammates: LA will always hold a particular place in my heart, and our friendships transcend the locker room.
“Every great story has an exciting next chapter Dallas- Here we come!”
On February 25, Davis will return to Los Angeles when the Mavericks play the Lakers.

“I genuinely wanted to win a title for you because I felt like I had spent my entire career here.
“I could never have imagined the amount of love and support I have received from all of you.
“You made North Texas feel like home to a little Slovenian child who was visiting the United States for the first time.
“Your support has remained constant during both good and bad times, from injuries to the NBA Finals.
“Thank you not only for sharing my joy in our best moments but also for lifting me up when I needed it most.”
