New Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic shared his appreciation for the Dallas Mavericks, the franchise that drafted and developed him into one of the NBA’s premier players. It’s been some time since Luka Doncic was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers,

Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison was the man behind the shocking trade. He was so frustrated with Doncic's conditioning that he traded the 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers for Anthony Davis and Max Christie without talking to other teams.

Luka Doncic was the face of the Dallas Mavericks ever since he was traded for on draft night with Trae Young. The franchise's future championship ambitions were clearly on his shoulders. So it was surprising even for him when the Mavericks traded him to the Lakers in February this season.
