The NBA legend was as shocked to hear about the Doncic trade as everybody else, and floated an interesting theory.

But late Saturday night, flabbergasted fans learned Dallas general manager Nico Harrison had agreed to send Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Lakers for All-Star forward Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick in a three-team trade also involving the Jazz.

While All-NBA star Luka Doncic was shocked by the trade, then realized "This is the Lakers. It's one of the best clubs in history. So I’m excited to be here.”
