Commissioner says Luka turned shock into strength
Luka Doncic’s stunning February trade from Dallas to the Lakers shook the NBA. Dallas sent him for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round pick. Commissioner Adam Silver later praised Luka’s honesty, saying he admired how Doncic didn’t sugarcoat his disappointment.
Doncic used that setback to get fitter, shine at EuroBasket, and sign a Lakers extension. Now, he’s even an MVP favourite. The whole saga was so shocking that even LeBron’s hairline looked more predictable.
