The Luka Doncic trade is a “Where were you when…” level of event. I was sitting at a table at my friend’s apartment. We had agreed that we’d head back to my dorm in a few minutes but I was stalling because I didn’t want to step out into the freezing cold in the T-shirt I was wearing. Thus, we kicked back for a few extra minutes. All of a sudden, he broke the silence and uttered four simple words. “Luka to the Lakers.” I immediately looked at him as if he’d told me his mom died. I asked him to repeat himself, and he reiterated, “Luka just got traded to the Lakers.” Like everybody when they heard the news, I scrambled to take my phone out of my pocket and looked up “mavs,” because it was the quickest word I could type out as my mind raced.
