The NBA world is still in shock. Luka Doncic, the heart and soul of the Dallas Mavericks, is now wearing a Lakers jersey. Fans can’t believe it. Reporters can’t believe it. Even Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs' rising star, is struggling to process it. “I’ve been watching both teams since it happened,” Wemby tells reporters in Oakland, right before the All-Star game in San Francisco. “You can just feel how hurt Mavs fans are.
It’s a deep emotion. But even with this trade, I think Dallas is still a contender. The Lakers are, too. This league is tough. They both got good players.” The deal went down two weeks ago, and it’s still the hottest topic in basketball. The Lakers landed five-time All-Star Luka Doncic, along with Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris.
The Mavericks? They got Anthony Davis, who helped the Lakers win a championship in 2020, along with Max Christie and a future first-round pick. The problem? Davis is already injured and expected to miss multiple weeks. NBA fans are divided. Some think it was a smart move for both teams. Others call it the worst trade in league history. Wembanyama, like most, is still wrapping his head around it. “Luka... have we seen anyone like him before? The way he controls the game, every possession? He was building something in Dallas.” It’s not just the fans feeling the sting.
The Mavericks made the Finals last season, and now their star is gone. That’s a tough pill to swallow. And to make things even crazier, the Mavs also sent Jalen Hood-Schifino and a future second-round pick to Utah in the process. “I don’t know, man,” Wemby shrugs. “Two weeks later, it’s still the craziest trade I’ve ever seen.”
While the Mavericks sit at 30-26, holding eighth place in the Western Conference, the Lakers are slightly ahead at 32-30 in fifth. Nobody knows how this will play out, but reigning MVP Nikola Jokic thinks it might work for everyone. “I kind of think both teams win,” Jokic says. “Luka is a once-in-a-generation player. Not saying AD isn’t, but Luka... he’s different.”
