NBA insider Shams Charania, who broke the news, reported that Doncic was “stunned” when informed about the deal. Charania added that the agreement happened in the “shadows,” a strategy that highlighted the secrecy.

Jeanie Buss, the Lakers’ former longtime controlling owner, opened up about the shocking trade Friday on Slovenian radio:
“Nobody knew. It was a secret. Nobody knew the trade was gonna happen. I knew, but [Doncic] didn’t know. I’ve never had a player come to the Lakers and be as sad as he was because the trade was a huge surprise to him.”
