Extra on this storyline
Whereas Doncic is undoubtedly the longer term face of this franchise, it’s nonetheless James’ group now, so to see Doncic get introduced final was particular. However that can also be one thing the 2 labored out previous to the competition. Doncic spoke after the sport and revealed that James texted him that morning and needed the 25-year-old to have that second in his debut. But the new Lakers star also made it clear that LeBron will get that last spot going forward. “Yeah, he texted me in the morning,” Doncic said after the Lakers win. “He said, whatever you want. And I said, for him to text me that, it’s just amazing. Reveals what sort of individual he’s to let me have my second, so I actually respect it… As we speak, he left me have this one. However any more, he’ll be the final.” -via Lakers Nation / February 12, 2025
In keeping with NBA officers, the Mavs had interactions with at the very least two different groups moreover the Lakers. They claimed the Mavs also had conversations with the Bucks and Timberwolves. It doesn’t take a genius to determine which gamers from these groups would have piqued the Mavs’ curiosity. With the Bucks, it was Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP who led the Bucks to the NBA title in 2021. Antetokounmpo occurs to have a powerful rapport with Mavs coach Jason Kidd and his right-hand man, Sean Sweeney. -via Woelfel’s Press Box / February 12, 2025
In keeping with one supply, the Mavs reached out to the Bucks. But the Bucks made it clear to Mavs they wouldn’t trade Antetokounmpo even though his future with the team is murky. As for the Timberwolves, it’s only logical that any potential deal between the Mavs and Timberwolves would have included Anthony Edwards, their ascending 23-year-old famous person. The NBA officers I contacted relating to the Doncic-Davis declined to disclose specifics of the Mavs talks with the Bucks and Timberwolves, however they had been adamant these talks befell. -via Woelfel’s Press Box / February 12, 2025
