Luka Doncic traded to Lakers days after $15M Dallas home purchase

Luka Doncic was in the process of purchasing a new home in the Dallas area for $15 million just before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, a move that has shocked fans and former players alike. His business manager confirmed he was under contract for the property, though she denied that the purchase had been finalized, countering reports from former Mavericks player Chandler Parsons. The trade, which sent Doncic and others to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, left Doncic emotional, with reports indicating he cried upon learning of the deal. Parsons criticized the Mavericks for not involving Doncic in discussions about the trade, describing it as 'bad business.' Doncic's family also expressed disbelief over the trade, emphasizing his commitment to Dallas and the emotional toll it took on him. As Doncic transitions to the Lakers, he faces the challenge of playing alongside LeBron James while potentially needing to sell the newly acquired home.
