Luka Doncic was supposed to be the face of the Dallas Mavericks for at least another decade. Now he’s a Los Angeles Laker. The news broke just around midnight Saturday on the east coast, and NBA fans were so stunned that Dallas would trade it’s superstar most believed Shams Charania had been hacked when he reported the deal.

Doncic, who led Dallas to the NBA Finals last season, was the undisputed face of the franchise and its best player since Nowitzki retired. The 25-year-old is a five-time All-NBA first team selection in his six seasons in the league.

The world was shocked when they learned that the Dallas Mavericks were going to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. To this very moment, there are probably still some out there who are still trying to process the move,

The Dallas Mavericks seemed to have Dirk Nowitzki’s heir apparent on their roster. All signs pointed at Luka Doncic taking down all of Nowitzki’s records and becoming the greatest Maverick to ever live.

You’re not in a nightmare Mavs fans, Dallas’ Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic has been traded. The jaw-dropping move came down on Saturday night as a league source confirmed the Mavericks dealt Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a three-team deal with the Utah Jazz.

As Dirk Nowitzki's successor as face of the Dallas franchise, many believed that Doncic would be a Mavs lifer. But what happened late Saturday night upended such belief, with the Slovenian sent to the Lakers along with Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris for a trade package fronted by superstar big man Anthony Davis.
