The Los Angeles Lakers came away as the winner of the 2025 NBA trade deadline by a wide margin, somehow managing to pull off the most shocking trade in league history when they dealt a package centered around Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Dončić early Sunday morning.

When asked about the trade, Legler, on the All-NBA Podcast, had the following to say, refusing to hold back on the situation: "Not only would Mark Cuban not have done the deal, Mark Cuban would have fired a person who suggested it on the spot... Because he'd be certain that person has to be doing something in terms of narcotics."

Five-time All-NBA guard Luka Doncic is expected to make his debut with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday against the visiting Utah Jazz. The Lakers host the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, but coach JJ Redick said he wasn't counting on playing Doncic, who is making his way back from a calf injury.
