Hey there sports gossipers!
We’re coming at you a day early because we need to dissect the most shocking trade in NBA history.
(Also because Charlotte is traveling for the pre-Super Bowl week, give her a shout if you’ll be in New Orleans! We always love to connect with people who love sports gossip as much as we do.)
You probably know this by now if you’re reading this, but the NBA news that shocked the world involved a surprise trade under the cover of night involving Luka Doncic, one of the best basketball players in the world.
If you don’t know why this is a big deal, you’re in the right place.
As always, our shameless plug to subscribe on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. We are — don’t know if you’ve heard — doing this ourselves, so please consider becoming a paid subscriber for $8/month or $80/year.
Also — we’ll be releasing a Super Bowl preview episode on Thursday! Stay tuned for that so you can have as much fun as possible watching The Big Game.
Now let’s get into it:
The big news is that the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic and he’s on the Los Angeles Lakers now, in exchange for Lakers big man Anthony Davis.
We break down all of the potential thought processes behind the massive move that Mavs GM Nico Harrison made under the cover of night with his old buddy Rob Pelinka, who just so happens to be the GM of the Lakers.
The video of Luka arriving in LA is really something….
….and Lakers star LeBron James claims he didn’t know about any of this.
There was also a lot of movement in the WNBA recently — DeWanna Bonner and her girlfriend Alyssa Thomas were sent to different teams…
…and NaLyssa Smith and Dijonai Carrington, who are in a relationship, are now on the Dallas Wings together.
And the Connecticut Sun…no longer have their entire starting lineup from 2024?
Noah Lyles, US track and field star and technically the fastest man in the world after the 2024 Olympics, has once again challenged NFL player Tyreek Hill to a race (?).
Kevin Love seems like he’s trying to become a meme lord — is this his retirement plan?
The gals once again check in on Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson, because there might be trouble in paradise given recent Instagram activity.
And Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman went to a WWE match. We love it!
