I'm not a big fan of Basketball at all but sounds to me like Doncic may well be a bit of a difficult team player and they wanted to move an issue on?

This too has been reported.

I get Mavs have to try and validate their trade publicly, all teams do it. But the kid is already an absolute demon on the court. Are Mavs trying to give him ammunition to get even better? They might be making the situation worse. When Lebron leaves LA, the Lakers will build a team around him...they will be a problem for the league.

This trade in the grand scheme doesn’t matter. Neither of these teams were winning a title before the trade and they aren’t winning one after the trade.

That being said, it’s negligent to have traded a guy without taking offers from other teams.

They apparently talked to one other team (I strongly suspect it was Giannis) and were likely hung up on….

The Lakers made this trade because they just want someone to attract fans once LeBron is gone in the next year or two (or heck, maybe even this year). Otherwise, no one comes to play for the Lakers to just play with AD.
