And now Doncic, who wrote on X, “Grateful for this amazing opportunity. Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I’ll do so with the same joy, passion and goal – to win championships.”

The Don also posted a goodbye letter to Dallas fans:

Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison cited a “new chapter” for Dallas (per The Athletic) and feeling as thought they “got ahead of what was going to be a tumultuous summer, [Doncic] being eligible for the supermax and also a year away from him being able to opt out of any contract,” Harrison told The Dallas Morning News.

He also revealed in a press conference that head coach Jason Kidd wasn’t made aware of the trade before the deal was finalized.

The news definitely has everyone around the L reacting, including Tyrese and Bam, who asked if Shams was hacked.
