That was nearly everyone’s reaction to the news that Luka Doncic had been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster, out-of-the-blue trade that sends Anthony Davis to Dallas along with a 2029 first-round pick. The trade is real. It wasn’t just fans who were shocked, so were players.

Don’t forget, Dwyane Wade is a part owner of the Jazz, the third team in this trade (they did well for their small part in this deal).
