Naji Marshall responded to the question by claiming he was shocked at first before admitting that he missed Luka Doncic in Dallas:
Marshall, who signed a three-year, $27,000,000 contract with the Mavericks this season, joined the team from the New Orleans Pelicans. While he only spent a few months with Doncic, his reaction goes on to show how much the Slovenian meant to the team and the city of Dallas.
Luka Doncic being traded to Los Angeles was one of the biggest stories at the trade deadline in February. The Slovenian had spent his entire NBA career in Texas and had his heart set out to retire in the city of Dallas
However, Mavs GM Nico Harris had other ideas as he traded their biggest asset for Anthony Davis, earning the ire of many Mavs fans. Doncic himself was reportedly heartbroken with the trade, but is finally recovering from the shock and is “committed” to the Lakers, according to ESPN reporter Tim MacMahon:
Doncic has settled well in Los Angeles since the trade and led them to a third-place finish in the West. Although eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in Round 1 of the playoffs, the 25-year-old will be one to watch next season.
