Jeanie Buss has spoken about the unusual situation when Luka Doncic was traded from Dallas to LA it was like nothing she had ever seen before.The LAL CEO and minority owner recently opened up about how different the experience of joining the Lakers was for Luka compared to other NBA players.In my experience, welcoming a player to the Laker organization, I often hear, This is my dream,Jeaniesaid on Pretty Tough.Ive always wanted to be a Laker, to play in the same place where Magic did, and Kobe and Shaq and Kareem. But Luka wasnt like that.He was still, I could see, trying to figure out why is this happening? As soon as the trade happened, we had a private jet to bring him to L.A. to assimilate him into the organization,she added. And you could see that he left his heart in Dallas. It was going to take him time to process.Its kind of like if your boyfriend breaks up with you, its okay to go out and get a new dress and try to make him regret he ever did that.Buss is certainly correct in her assessment. You only have to look at when Luka had his return game in Dallas and was very emotional watching his tribute video. The city and the Mavs meant a whole lot to him.Of course since then, Luka has become an LA icon.A few months after he was an in settled in, following one of the most shocking trades in recent NBA history, Doncic did admit he liked Los Angeles and playing for the purple and gold.Related Article: Magic President Addresses Head Coach Jamahl Mosley's FiringThis is the first city I play in that has an ocean, Doncic said in June last year.
