Heavy Luka Theories with Kiese Laymon
It's being called the most shocking trade in basketball or even sports history: All-NBA guard Luka Doncic was sent from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. Everyone is searching for reasons why the Mavericks would throw away Doncic, a generationally great player who is only 25 years old.
On Edge of Sports, we break the trade down with none other than Kiese Laymon. The writer of books like Heavy and Long Division and a professor at Rice University, Laymon helps us break down why it may have happened, as well as some theories to help us make sense of the senseless. We look at Luka, LeBron, the executives in charge, and the very shady new Mavericks owner and bankroller of Trump, the infamous Miriam Adelson.
