NBA bombshell: Social media erupts over Luka Doncic’s surprising move to the Lakers
Saturday night left basketball fans stunned over the news that Luka Doncic was being sent to the Los Angeles Lakers. Social media platforms are buzzing
Nobody saw it coming, well except for Diario AS, of course, when we published this article back in August. We thought King James would have to leave first, but it looks like he’ll share the court with former Maverick’s guard.
What are people saying about the trade on social media?
NBA stars, sports journalists, talk show pundits, fans, etc. were sent into a frenzy when the news came out. Here’s a sample of what some of the biggest names said on X and Instagram:

As a Dallas native, who went to the Mav’s first NBA finals in 2006 and the parade in 2011. I can confidently say trading prime Luka Doncic is one of the biggest mistakes in the history of sports.
