Luka Doncic Being Traded To The Lakers Breaks X

You know a trade is wild when social media has to check to see if Shams Charania’s account was hacked. The entire sports world was left stunned last night when ESPN NBA Insider Shams Charania posted a megaton of tweets on X, formerly Twitter, announcing, in a mind-blowing move, that the Dallas Mavericks were sending all-star guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a three-team deal for big man Anthony Davis. “The Dallas Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN. Three-team deal that includes Utah,” Charania wrote in a post X. The news came just hours after the Lakers smoked the New York Knicks in the Garden on Saturday night. Davis did not play, but Max Christie did log minutes in the Lakers victory.

The news was so mindblowing that Charania had to follow up to ensure followers his account was not hacked and that the deal was indeed real. Charania said the deal was made “in the shadows,” with Anthony Davis and LeBron James not even knowing it was going down. “This deal materialized in the shadows … LeBron James had no idea this was coming. Anthony Davis had no idea this was coming. I’m told Luka Doncic is still stunned about this trade,” Charania said on ESPN. LeBron James did chime in, responding to a post on CBS Sports’ official X account that he “had grown frustrated with Anthony Davis,” clapping back at the report, “You a fkn lie!!!”
