It has been quite a few days since the Luka Doncic trade. The absurdity of the trade took the NBA fans by surprise, sending some significant shockwaves. One of the biggest reasons for the same was the massive mismatch between both players. While Doncic is just 25 and a 5x All-NBA selection, Anthony Davis is quite old and also injury-prone. And now, the fiasco involving the trade has made world leaders like Donald Trump talk!
According to recent updates, US President Donald Trump, too, discussed the Luka Doncic trade. Tillman Fertitta, the owner of the Houston Rockets, stated that he and Trump pondered over the Luka Doncic trade. Fertitta also labeled the entire trade as a “dumba**” decision, which he discussed with the US President in the Oval Office.
“I was in the White House, the Oval Office, with the Prime Minister of Italy and the President (Trump) last Thursday. We talked about the Houston Cougars for at least a minute and a half. And then we talked about that dumbass Luka Doncic trade that Dallas did,” said Fertitta.

Instead, Davis remained injured throughout the season, making it worse for the Mavericks’ fans. Things are so complicated at the moment that Charles Barkley had stern advice for Nico Harrison.
