New Orleans – New Orleans has the Super Bowl Ricks a week down, with all eyes focusing on the “big game” rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
But not all stories are about football in Big Easy, because of what just went down in the NBA. Luka Doncic has been traded with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Several NFL stars spoke to Fox News Digital about the trade, but they were surprised as the Dallas Mavericks sent out the 25-year-old Superstar Guard.

“There's no trade in history, and I feel that it really compares that type of trade,” said the Green Bay Packers, who run through Josh Jacobs. “The 25-year-old NBA top three player is at the height of his career. This is basically the face of the fan base that trades with Peanuts. There's nothing comparable to that. I think so.”
Jacobs said Cleveland Browns' Star Edge Rusher Mile Garrett is officially requesting a deal and how interesting it is to see it unfolding. But it's just “disturbing some feathers” in Jacobs' eyes.

Doncic's trade has done more than that in the world of sports, let alone the NBA.
Even players who don't watch basketball regularly couldn't guess the Mavericks moving forward from the franchise's face. Free agent receiver Braxton Berrios believes something must have gone behind closed doors because of how it is buttoned.

“When it appeared, my buddy had my phone and he said, 'You'll never believe what just happened.' “What?” Luka had just been traded.” Berios recalled. “I think that's insane. We don't trade franchise cornerstones, so we need a backstory that we don't know about. That's a bad thing.”
Are there any comparisons to Don Chic transactions within the NFL? Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. said football fans wouldn't have happened to prove his claims about how “crazy” the deal was.
“It's like swapping a lamour [Jackson]it trades the pat [Mahomes]. That's crazy,” Penix said with a laugh.
Some thought trade was not a reality when it went down, but it became official after Dallas won All-Star Center Anthony Davis, reserve guard Max Christie and 2029 first-round pick.
