"But while this trade seemingly came out of nowhere, sources on both sides said it was a rather direct process between two men with a long history of trust, formed over two decades with the late Lakers icon, Kobe Bryant."

"Harrison decided early on, team sources said, that the best way to trade a player of Doncic's caliber was to pick the trade that he wanted, rather than open up the process, to avoid Doncic and his agent exerting their own leverage. It would also avoid the crippling fan backlash that might influence the deal.

Pelinka and the Lakers understood. Nothing could leak. Not a breath of it."

"PELINKA AND HARRISON'S relationship dates back to the summer of 2003, when both were ambitious young executives who had earned the trust of a then-25-year-old Kobe Bryant. Bryant had left his longtime agent Arn Tellem in March 2002 and convinced Pelinka, then a junior executive at Tellem's company SFX, to leave with him.

He was also a sneaker free agent after his contract with Adidas had lapsed. Rather than re-sign with the company immediately, Bryant chose to open up the process. He'd wear Nike's one night, Reeboks another, all trying to froth the market after he'd helped the Lakers win their third championship in a row."

"The Lakers had asked the Jazz to complete the trade involving Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills by the time they were finished against the Knicks because they didn't want Max Christie to have to fly back with the team on their Sunday morning flight back to Los Angeles, then learn he'd been traded.

Shortly after the Jazz completed their business with Mills, they learned of the magnitude of the trade they were about to be involved in. All that did was buy them an extra hour to digest its ramifications."

"The Mavericks' frustrations with Doncic' habits on and off the court were well-known in league circles. Head coach Jason Kidd frequently expressed concerns publicly and directly with Doncic about his conditioning, weight fluctuations and constant arguing with officials.

Doncic had mostly taken the criticism without complaint, but it never resulted in a significant change in his habits.

"I mean, who gains weight during the season when you're playing 40 minutes a game?" a team source vented to ESPN last year."

Good luck, Max 💜

LeBron James has been named the NBA Western Conference Player of the Week

Rui and Jax for Turner works in trade machine, we'd likely have to add a protected 1st. Koloko gets converted to a standard contract and becomes the back up

Would be good if we had a roster spot
