When .Luka Doncic first learned he had been traded by the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers, he damaged his cellphone by throwing it across the room.

"I was actually in the bed," Doncic said. "My TV wasn't working so I was on my iPad watching a movie about to go to sleep. First thing I said, probably three times, was, 'Is this [an] April 1st [joke]?'"

Doncic was then asked about his initial feelings when processing the trade.

"Sadness, mostly," Doncic said. "I was still in shock. Like, crazy shock. I felt like my heart was broken, honestly."

Doncic had intended to play his entire career with the Mavericks, who drafted him in 2018.

"Of course. That's an easy question," said Doncic.

I feel so bad for the Mavs having a Manchurian candidate like GM in Nico Harrison.

Enough already.

This wasnt a "Nico" decision. Nico was the fall guy so fans would blame him. They are purposely destroying the Mavs so the team can be moved
to Vegas. The brand "Luka" was also sent to the Lakers; the greatest historical NBA franchise.

The bottom-line will ALWAYS be to protect the NBA.

ESPN turning bad business into a crime against humanity

It's good for the fans that they got Cooper Flagg but...It's annoying to me that Dumb & Dumber -- Dumont and Nico Harrison -- got bailed out by this 1% chance. They had nothing to do with this good fortune, no skill involved, just pure dumb luck. Yet Nico Harrison showing his dumb mug on tv like all is forgiven. Bro, you did NOTHING, a player just fell into your lap.

It's that, or this sh** is rigged -- which I don't even know at this point. The fact that the Mavs can land the #1 pick with like a 1% chance, combined with an unthinkable unimaginable Luka trade, combined with worsening NBA ratings at the time of the trade -- something doesn't smell right.

And now we got NBA players betting on games?

Adam Silver better protect the Integrity of this league. Not interested in WWE.

Nico Harrison still deserves to be ran out of town. It sucks for Cooper that has to play for a trash front office.
