Luka Doncic admits he was shocked by trade to Los Angeles Lakers

Luka Doncic, one of the main players of the Dallas Mavericks, was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. This news not only shocked the entire NBA, but also shocked Doncic.


The 25-year-old Doncic joined the Dallas Mavericks in 2018 and became an important player for the team. Doncic won his first scoring title last season and led the team to the NBA Finals. He is also a 5-time NBA All-Star and 5-time All-Star.


Such an outstanding player should not be traded, but Doncic was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Doncic has been with the Los Angeles Lakers for two days and has gradually adapted to the new environment. He is increasingly looking forward to opening a new chapter in his career with LeBron James.


Recently, Doncic was interviewed and mentioned the trade. Doncic said: "You can imagine how shocked I was when I heard the news. I thought it was April Fool's Day. I really can't believe it."


"It was a huge shock to me. The Dallas Mavericks were my home, so this was a very difficult time for me. But now I get to play for the greatest team in the world, and I'm excited about this new journey."


"Honestly, it was really hard to take in at first. The first day was really tough, and these 48 hours felt like a month. Emotionally, it was a big challenge, but today has been a lot better. This is the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the greatest clubs in history, so I'm happy to be a part of it."


James was also surprised when he heard the news, but he quickly called Doncic to welcome him to the Los Angeles Lakers. When talking about playing with James, Doncic said: "This is like a dream come true. I have always admired him and there are so many things to learn from him. I can't wait to learn everything and fight side by side with him. It feels great."
