Dallas General Manager Nico Harris revealed the specific reason after the absolute ace Luca Doncic trade.
What was Doncic's reaction.
ESPN reported Doncic's interview on the 19th (Korea time). He spoke frankly about his feelings after the trade.
Doncic is an iconic Dallas figure. Franchise star and absolute ace to take charge of 10 years.
Former Dallas owner Mark Cuban also said he did not agree to Doncic's trade. However, current owners Patrick Dumont and general manager Nico Harrison traded.
Doncic's off-season weight issue cited his work-esque and weak defense.
Doncic said in an interview about this part, 'I feel really bad. I feel sorry for his way of speaking and concept. I've never said anything bad about him. The question I just want to move on.
It's a matter of basketball philosophy. Doncic's defense is not strong. However, it offsets this area with a strong attack. It is true that defense makes champions, but we have to figure out whether it is a matter of Doncic.
Discussion on this part should go deeper. Specific data, secondary statistics are needed, and numerous variables must be addressed.
Nikola Jokic also has defensive weaknesses. However, none of the experts comment on him. This is because of Jokichi's strong versatility and dominance in the game. Doncic is that type of player. In other words, there is a good possibility that Harrison is the boss's wife.
Doncic recalled the time of the trade on his SNS page, saying, `It felt like my heart was exploding. I threw my phone away when I found out it was true. However, the cell phone still works well.'
CBS Sports said `Doncic had no intention of leaving Dallas as well as an extension contract.'
Doncic, who was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, immediately emerged as the core of the team. The Los Angeles Lakers cheered that they brought in an ace who will take charge of the team's 10-year future.
The team has rebounded since joining the Los Angeles Lakers this season. It gave up Anthony Davis, but the team got stronger. LeBron James and Doncic have the best clutch abilities in the league.
The Los Angeles Lakers are in the third place in the West and are on a first-come, first-served basis in the playoffs. The opponent is Minnesota. This part is also lucky for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Doncic averaged 32.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 2.2 steals against Minnesota in last season's Western Finals. He showed a strong triple-double-class performance.
Short-term game, weak performance by Rudy Gobert, Minnesota's weakness, and the Achilles heel of the dropback defense were properly targeted.
