On February 2, 2025, the Dallas Mavericks shocked the entire NBA community by trading their superstar, Luka Doncic, to the Los Angeles Lakers. In a jaw-dropping move, the trade also sent Anthony Davis to the Mavericks. This trade stands as one of the most surprising deals in NBA history.

After Doncic’s departure, numerous NBA analysts, players, and fans expressed their opinions on the trade. Most criticized Mavericks GM Nico Harrison for his decision to trade Doncic. A notable incident occurred during Doncic’s debut with the Lakers.

Doncic had been sidelined since his Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a calf strain. However, he made his return to the court in a recent game against the Utah Jazz, which also marked his debut for the Lakers. During the game, a fan shouted from the crowd, “Fire Nico,” expressing disappointment over the trade that brought Doncic to the Lakers.

The fan and a friend also displayed a sign that read “Fire Nico.” In response, both fans were ejected from the arena, but their removal sparked boos from the crowd, who were upset with the security’s actions.

Klay Thompson Reflected On Fans Frustration Over Luka Doncic’s Trade

Doncic’s trade surprised both fans and players alike. Numerous supporters voiced their disappointment over his departure on various social media platforms. In the midst of this, Klay Thompson, who participated in 22 games with Doncic, highlighted the negative feedback from fans concerning the trade.

“You could acknowledge it and understand the frustration [because] Luka was that great… I signed here, [and] so did everyone else who had the opportunity for a reason… It’s not our job to get deflated because people are upset.” Thompson said in a recent interview.

Doncic made his Lakers debut in the recent game against the Jazz, scoring 14 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds in 24 minutes. Alongside LeBron James, who scored 24 points, the Lakers clinched a 132-113 victory over the Jazz.
