Hope you were sitting down when this news dropped because it’s a wild one. Late Saturday night, the Lakers and Mavericks flipped the NBA upside down with a blockbuster trade. Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick? All headed to Dallas. And in return, the Lakers pulled off the impossible—they got Luka Doncic.
After getting shipped to the Lakers on Sunday, he finally broke his silence. Instead of a quick statement, he went all in—writing a heartfelt letter to Dallas, showing love to the Mavericks, their fans, and the city that’s been home since day one. Safe to say, emotions were running high.
“Seven years ago, I came here as a teenager to pursue my dream of playing basketball at the highest level. I thought I’d spend my career here and I wanted so badly to bring you a championship. The love and support you all have given me is more than I could have ever dreamed of. For a young kid from Slovenia coming to the U.S. for the first time, you made North Texas feel like home. In good times and bad, from injuries to the NBA Finals, your support never changed.”
He further wrote, “Thank you not only for sharing my joy in our best moments, but also for lifting me up when I needed it most. To all the organizations I’ve worked with throughout the Dallas community, thank you for letting me contribute to your important work and join you in bringing light to those who need it. As I start the next part of my basketball journey, I am leaving a city that will always feel like a home away from home Dallas is a special place, and Mavs fans are special fans. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
This was for us fans. But for his teammates, he had something different. After the trade went down, Luka hit up the Mavs team group chat with a simple message: “thanks for everything”. No long speech, just straight from the heart.
