The Dallas Mavericks' idea to trade Luka Doncic was so shocking that even Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont originally laughed at the proposal.

Somehow the sun did in fact dawn Sunday in North Texas, piercing though not erasing the shroud of Mavericks fans’ shock, despair and anger. The previous night’s astonishing bombshell was in fact reality: The Mavericks really did trade 25-year-old superstar Luka Doncic to the despised and perpetually hoops-god-blessed Los Angeles Lakers.
