Many were puzzled by what Dallas received in sending its generational superstar to Los Angeles, including longtime NBA executives.

The morning after Luka Doncic was traded to the Lakers, fans gathered their memorabilia, and signs to display at American Airlines Center.

ESPN’s Tim MacMahon and Shams Charania report the Mavericks approached the Lakers about the deal, which was reportedly due to Dallas’ hesitancy about giving Doncic a supermax contract. The Mavs, according to ESPN, were frustrated by Doncic’s conditioning and ability to stay healthy.
