Luka Doncic is a Los Angeles Laker. The out-of-nowhere trade that shellshocked the NBA world sending Doncic to L.A. and Anthony Davis to Dallas will create a ripple effect unlike any transaction the league has ever seen.

The Trail Blazers would likely want to make room to have more minutes for Donovan Clingan, who they recently selected early in the 2024 NBA Draft. For the Lakers, meanwhile, Ayton could have at least some tangible valuable as a player who has postseason experience and tremendous size on the inside.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr and star Steph Curry were essentially in tears when discussing their big trade. But emotions can go too far ... as is the case right now in Luka-less Dallas.
