The Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis trade came as a shocker for the entire NBA world. After all, nobody could imagine that Dallas would agree to give away their top prospect who helped them reach the NBA finals recently. And the most surprising aspect of the trade was that other than the authorities, no one was aware of the same. Thus, delving deep into the matter, Nikola Jokic feels that the safety of the athletes exists no more in the NBA. Anyone can get traded at any moment.

Reacting to Doncic’s trade, Jokic said, “I text him… He felt it, of course. I think he didn’t expect it, of course. I think he just needs to be with family right now, it’s a big move. It’s a business, I don’t know. I think nobody expected it, especially him. I think nobody is safe in the league.”

However, Jokic also believes that an athlete of Doncic’s caliber will surely make the transition smoothly. And looking at the help Doncic will receive in Los Angeles from the likes of LeBron James, Jokic thinks the 2019 NBA Rookie of the Year will surely excel. Meanwhile, it was not only Nikola Jokic that lashed out at the insecurity. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander too, had something to say on similar lines.

Gilgeous-Alexander too, has been taken aback by the sudden change of jerseys for Luka Doncic. However, getting traded out of the blue is not something new for SGA. After just his first season in the NBA, Gilgeous-Alexander was traded to the Thunders, much to the surprise of the fans.

Now, reflecting his opinions on the Doncic-Davis trade, SGA stated, “I learned that lesson the hard way. My first year in the NBA, I got traded out the blue. Didn’t see it coming. It doesn’t surprise me anymore than myself getting traded a long time ago. I found out it was a business my first season… I always say no matter how untouchable you think you are, you never know.”
