Adrian Wojnarowski was either really happy to be in retirement on Saturday night, or he was bummed to not be the one to drop the huge news of the Dallas Mavericks trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and other pieces. It was arguably the biggest NBA trade in history, but this time, ESPN's Shams Charania broke the news.
