“They have no idea”: Luka Doncic breaks silence about doubters in Dallas

The blockbuster trade sending Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers has left fans and analysts alike grappling with the decision-and the fallout. Two months after the trade, speculation continues to swirl about the rationale behind Dallas relinquishing one of the league’s brightest stars in the prime of his career.

Initial reports suggested the Mavericks’ front office doubted Doncic would commit to signing a supermax contract, fueling their desire to trade him while his market value was at its highest. Doncic, however, quickly dismissed this reasoning. Other rumors focused on concerns about his weight and work ethic, claims that seemed contradictory when Doncic arrived in Los Angeles and seamlessly adapted to a revitalized Lakers roster.

Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, Doncic addressed the narratives surrounding his exit from Dallas. “They have no idea,” he said, referring to critics who questioned his dedication and effort. “I didn’t end up here by mistake. I worked my ass off to be here. So it’s kinda, I would say disrespectful, just sad that people say that.”

An epic trade that has changed the league

Since joining the Lakers, Doncic has delivered standout performances, averaging 27.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game. Pairing with LeBron James, the young superstar has helped transform the Lakers into serious contenders in the Western Conference much to the dismay of Mavericks fans, who have watched their team struggle without him.

The trade continues to serve as motivation for Doncic, who has made it clear he feels disrespected by Dallas’ decision to let him go. His first game back in Dallas on Wednesday night marks a highly anticipated showdown. While he has already faced his former team in Los Angeles, returning to the American Airlines Center carries extra emotional weight.

For Doncic, this game represents an opportunity to prove the Mavericks’ front office wrong, delivering a performance that speaks louder than words. For fans, it’s a bittersweet reminder of what Dallas lost when they traded away their franchise cornerstone. With Doncic’s skill, determination, and drive to succeed, the stage is set for an unforgettable night.
