Luka Doncic is the youngest reigning All-NBA 1st Team player ever to be traded

The NBA world was rocked late on Saturday night when Shams Charania dropped probably the most shocking trade report of all time, one that said Luka Doncic, currently on a run of five straight 1st Team All-NBA appearances, would be getting moved to arguably the biggest team in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers, for Anthony Davis, among other players and assets.

Naturally, that led us to wonder how common it is for a player coming off a 1st Team All-NBA appearance to be traded the following season. Well, it's extremely rare, as it has happened just 12 times in NBA history – and just four times since 1980 prior to Doncic's shocking trade.

History was also made with the Doncic trade, as the Slovenian superstar became the youngest reigning 1st Team All-NBA player ever to be traded the following season, breaking the record previously held by Dwight Howard. Doncic, 25, was 271 days younger than Howard was when the Orlando Magic traded him to the Lakers back in 2012.

Another interesting note from our research found that only two other times before Saturday's Doncic-for-Davis swap had reigning All-NBA players been moved the following season in deals involving each other. It first happened in the 1979 offseason when 1st Team All-NBAer Paul Westphal was traded from the Phoenix Suns to the Seattle SuperSonics for Dennis Johnson, who was coming off a 2nd Team All-NBA campaign in '79.

Then, in the 2012 offseason, the Magic traded their 1st Team All-NBA center, Howard, to the Lakers in a very complicated four-team deal that saw L.A. star big man Andrew Bynum, who had just made 2nd Team All-NBA the season prior, head to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Anywho, below, you can check out all 12 players who got traded after making 1st Team All-NBA the season prior, with Doncic now being the youngest ever to hold that honor.
