The Luka Doncic trade has been getting some of the biggest attention recently. With Doncic being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, there has been a surge of shock elements among the fans. They cannot seem to wrap their heads around the fact that how could the Dallas Mavericks leave one of their top prospects. Nonetheless, with Anthony Davis at their service, it is expected that he will replicate what Doncic did for the team. Meanwhile, amidst all the noise, Trae Young’s dad dropped a hilarious update.
For the uninitiated, both Trae Young and Luka Doncic were selected by the Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks, respectively, back in 2018. However, in 2019, the two teams agreed to swap Doncic and Young on Draft day. This made the fans infuriated as they lashed out at the Hawks. Now, with one more Luka Doncic trade creating ripples, Trae Young’s father, Rae Young, had a surprising revelation to make.
“I can respond now. Luka wasn’t coming big dog. He would’ve went back to Europe…. I won’t pull receipts until the documentary comes out. But he was NEVER coming to the ATL,” wrote Rae Young on X.
