Comment on 🚨 LUKA TRADED TO LAKERS

From ESPN “Though Doncic was relatively svelte by his standards when he reported to camp, his weight ballooned to the high 260s early this season, sources said. He sat out five games in late November, when the Mavs listed him with a sprained right wrist, an extended absence to allow Doncic to focus on his conditioning. He had a similar early-season layoff in the 2022-23 season.
Doncic was in line to receive a five-year, $345 million contract this summer but because of the trade, he is no longer eligible for a super max deal, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.”

Seems to me that the Mavs were not looking for a long term partnership with Luka due to his work ethic so they preferred to cut a deal while it was still making sense and move on. For Lakers it could work out well if this can trigger hookah Doncic and fire up his motivation.
