Wow. I think that's the most shocked I've been at a trade ever. What a terrible move too. My god

Are Groundhog Day pranks a thing in basketball?

Doncic was eligible for a five-year, $345 million super max contract extension this summer with the Mavericks, and there is belief around the league that Dallas did not want to commit that kind of money to the All-NBA guard.
A supermax deal pays a player a max of 35% of the salary cap, however, since Doncic was traded and no longer with the team that drafted him, he is not eligible for the super max contract with the Lakers.

A grand slam first game victory for the Blue Jays is already in the record books.

the Los Angeles Dodgers are the highest-payroll team in MLB and the Toronto Blue Jays are fifth, the disparity in payroll is significant. According to the sports business site Spotrac, the Blue Jays' payroll in 2025 is about $95 million less than what their National League opponents spend.
