"I was almost asleep, so when I got a call, I had to check if it was April first," Dončić said about learning he was traded to the Lakers.

The Lakers formally welcomed Dončić on Tuesday, less than three days after they traded Anthony Davis and Max Christie in a three-team deal for the Slovenian scorer who won his first scoring title last season before leading the Mavs to the NBA Finals. Dončić is a five-time All-NBA selection and a five-time All-Star.

Luka Dončić is not happy with the Dallas Mavericks after his landscape-altering trade to the Los Angeles Lakers that shocked the entire NBA community.
