Luka Doncic’s time with the Dallas Mavericks came to a shocking end late Saturday when he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a deal for Anthony Davis that left the sports world in shock. The 25-year-old star, who had led the team to the NBA Finals the previous season, is now set to join LeBron James in an effort to make the Lakers a contender again.
The trade, which left die-hard Mavericks fan Patrick Mahomes feeling nauseous, is being called one of the most surprising in NBA history, leaving many Mavs fans heartbroken.
Shortly after the trade, ESPN Insider Brian Windhorst shared an interesting message he received from a current unnamed NBA All-Star who expressed his disbelief at the move. The All-Star texted Windhorst saying, “Do you know how much the Mavericks must hate Luka?” Windhorst provided further insights into the stunning trade, calling it a wild late night for the NBA.
