Speaking to the press via Brad Townsend, Doncic spoke about the moment he found out he had been traded.

Doncic said he was sleeping and received a message on his phone about moving to the Lakers.

Doncic was dumbfounded and confused by Dallas’ choice, and he wasn’t the only one.

The backlash against Dallas continues, and many Mavericks fans are furious at general manager Nico Harrison.

It will be some time before people ultimately accept that Doncic is now a Laker.

For his part, Doncic sounds ready to get started and make the most of this opportunity.

He is elated to play alongside LeBron James and the Lakers fanbase will welcome him with open arms.

There is a chance that he will also use this trade as motivation to play even better.

He seems hurt by Dallas’ actions, especially after how much he has dedicated to the team since his rookie year.

There have been stories about the front office being unhappy with his conditioning, and Doncic might ultimately play harder to get his revenge.

Doncic is recovering from the shock of the trade to LA, but he is ready to get to work and make an impression.
