A source told the Sun-Times that Arturas Karnisovas and his front office would have offered anyone and everyone on the roster had they been notified by the Mavericks that Luka Doncic was available in February.

Thursday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast! Can the Lakers build a roster with a specific identity around Luka? Plus, a radical (but realistic) fake three-team trade that overhauls the roster. Good idea? @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

A source told the Sun-Times that Karnisovas and his front office would have offered anyone and everyone on the roster had they been notified by the Mavericks that Luka Doncic was available in February, but even then, it wouldn’t have been better than what the Lakers gave the Mavericks. It’s the same situation for Antetokounmpo. If the Thunder or the Rockets want to add Antetokounmpo, they have better talent and draft assets than the Bulls. The only benefit the Bulls would get out of a Giannis deal is to get him out of the East. -via Chicago Sun-Times / May 30, 2025
Without trying to gauge whether Doncic is in awesome shape or in a flattering T-shirt, I will say this: There were people in his camp who felt as though he was in store for a big offseason because of the humiliation he felt in the discussions about his work ethic and conditioning after he was traded from Dallas. -via Los Angeles Times / May 29, 2025
