Some guessed that Doncic will score 50 or 60 versus the Mavs on the Lakers' court. I don't think so. They're his ex-mates. He has no negative feelings toward them. I think Jason Kidd wasn't part of the decision-making about the trade (it was all on the owner; he made the decision) and Doncic may be thinking that too. He has no negative feelings toward Kidd.

Lakers-Mavs on the Mavs' court in April tho. I think we'll see beast Doncic there. I hope the Mavs owner will be there so he'll clearly see Doncic's elite offense. "You don't wanna give me the $ I deserve? OK. That's all I needed."

My guesses may age like ๐Ÿฅ› tho. Let's see.

I think Luka goes for 50. From what I hear about Luka is that he's very petty and will want to make ownership look stupid. Cause you're right, the trade was 100% stupid ownership decision.

Remember, this trade cost Luka like $117,000,000. Imagine your job cost you $100,000 and how mad you would be, now multiple that by 1000 lol.

Luka goes for a 100 in Dallas.

So is he very petty or is it understandable lol

Yes, even though revenge games are statistically a myth, they are relevant with superstars and teams that have great point guards.

19 15 12 in the end, a lot of mixed feelings, a good albeit not great night. The scream after the first three directed to the bench with the infamous GM was something. But you can't expect more after what happened. I was surprised no Lakers fans were chanting Nico Harrison

He wasn't so ๐Ÿ”ฅ at scoring but it was OK. He didn't force it.

His long 3 was ๐Ÿ‘. His improving chemistry with Bron and Reaves was ๐Ÿ‘ too.
