Who would have thought that less than one full season after the Mavericks-Timberwolves NBA Finals, both Luka Doncic and Karl-Anthony Towns would get traded for pennies on the dollar. Unbelievable. – 1:39 AM

It was Luka Doncic.

The craziest aspect about the Lakers getting Luka Doncic is that they also get him at a discount.
That 30 percent max he’s limited to for the next three years could help give them enough time and flexibility to pursue his co-star. – 12:51 AM

LeBron James: You a fkn lie!!! 🤥🤡 RT @CBSSports: “LeBron had grown frustrated with Anthony Davis.” NBA Insider @sportsreiter with some insights on how the Lakers got to this point. -via Twitter @KingJames / February 2, 2025
New York Basketball: Windhorst: “This is not about the Lakers, not really about LeBron James. It’s about the Mavs & Luka Doncic…One of the biggest most stunning trades in the history of the league…My phone’s exploded…Basically a rebuke of Doncic…Mavs saying they don’t think they can win w him…defense…condition…ability to focus at biggest moments…Luka was locked into Mavs…& it’s the Mavs who are pulling the plug…Only 1 bidder as far as we know…They didn’t even get the entire package from Lakers…Lakers are still holding a 1st-round pick…LeBron has dreamed of this” -via x.com / February 2, 2025
Chris Haynes: I was told the Mavericks initiated Luka Doncic to Lakers trade talks. They contacted the Lakers and I’m told the Lakers reached out to Rich Paul after the inquiry from the Dallas Mavericks and the Lakers explained they were looking for LeBron James’ replacement, someone who can initiate the offense and be a dominant scorer out on the perimeter, somebody who could take over the reigns. And Dallas was looking for frontcourt help and Anthony Davis and Nico Harrison, the general manager of the Dallas Mavericks, they are very tight. In fact, Nico was Davis’ Nike rep, he was the one that helped sign AD to Nike. I was told AD was initially shocked but as of right now, I’m told he’s feeling good about the situation moving forward. -via x.com / February 2, 2025
Ramona Shelburne: Kyrie Irving was also stunned by the Luka-AD trade. I’m told he was doing a training session in Cleveland when he saw the news come across from @ShamsCharania -via Twitter @ramonashelburne / February 2, 2025
Ryen Rusillo: Just taped emergency pod with @Bill Simmons and @Rob Mahoney Heard from multiple teams tonight that said they had no idea Luka Doncic was available. You want to trade Luka, ok, but you start a bidding war. There was no reason to accept this deal so early. -via Twitter @ryenarussillo / February 2, 2025
