The NBA world was shaken on Saturday night as the Dallas Mavericks shockingly traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. The reports were so unexpected that many questioned if the news were true. But the deal is happening, and we can all process it together alongside Dirk Nowitzki, Joel Embiid, Patrick Mahomes, and many others.
Nowitzki, a Mavs legend, simply tweeted a shocked emoji.
Nowitzki and others were understandably left confused. Doncic is only 25 years old and has been a star in Dallas since joining the Mavs’ roster in 2018. Meanwhile, Davis helped the Lakers to the 2020 title.
