Dumbest and biggest trade in NBA history
Luka Dončić is a Los Angeles Laker.
Shocker
Dončić is a big Kobe fan, he is definitely excited to join the LA Lakers.
Luka Dončić is a Los Angeles Laker.1 What the actual fuck just happened? And what’s even crazier - He did NOT request a trade!2
Not a single leak about this came out as it seems the Dallas Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison only approached LA Lakers and informed no other teams, absolute insanity. This is the biggest fleece I have ever seen in any of these American sports that have these player trades, this is by far the biggest trade ever and the most one-sided trade ever, Dončić (25) is 6 years younger than Davis (31) and was arguably the best player in the world last year.
This move shocks me, as Nico has arguably been making some of the best moves by a general manager in Mavericks’ entire history. You could argue that the sheer eliteness of Luka was the main factors in getting Kyrie and Klay, but Nico definitely played a big part too. Therefore this trade is an even bigger shock.
Trade summary:
- Lakers receive: Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, Markieff Morris
- Mavericks receive: Anthony Davis, Max Christie, 2029 LAL 1st
- Jazz: Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2025 Clippers 2nd, 2025 Mavericks 2nd
Absolute fleece, what the fuck. I will love to cheer on LeBron and Luka together! But I am quite sad for the Mavericks crew that have grown on me - Kyrie, Klay, Gafford, P.J., Lively, and others. But it is what it is, Luka is my favorite player by a mile.
The trade is so stupidly one-sided that social media users thought all the news sources posting it got hacked. That is the sheer magnitude of how badly one-sided this trade is in favor of the Los Angeles Lakers.
This might genuinely be the worst trade in the history of all sports. Well, American sports leagues, as trades don’t really happen in other gigantic sport leagues such as football (or as Americans call it - soccer).
General NBA fans Reactions
Some of the reactions are absolutely hilarious, people trying to come up with justifications for such a one-sided trade:
Reddit user reacting to the news
Reddit user says that Trump’s trade war was less of a shocker than this trade
Reddit users suspect that Lakers have invented mind-control
Lakers’ Fans Reactions
Poor Mavericks’ Fans Reactions
I feel bad for all the Mavericks fans… and all the players that loved playing with Luka.
