Is this real? Did Shams Charania’s X account get hacked?

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.

Players shocked reactions came from around the league.

Reactions poured in from around the sports world, including from some athletes who may have something else to focus on this week.

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).
