At this point, it's really no secret that Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic was just as shocked as the rest of us to learn he had been traded away from his presumed forever franchise the Dallas Mavericks.
"In talking to people on Luka Doncic over the last 72 hours ... he had no intention ever of leaving Dallas," NBA insider Shams Charania reiterated during a Tuesday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. "He had just bought a new home in Dallas for a lofty, lofty price. He did not want to go anywhere. You think of a player coming from abroad, they're very committed. They're loyal. And that's how he viewed himself with the Mavericks. One team, one city, forever."
