Donald Trump publicly suggested that the trade that sent Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers should be undone, classifying it as "maybe the worst trade in sports history." The United States president's statements were made during a visit to Dallas, the city that hosts the team from which the Slovenian point guard was transferred.
The trade involving Doncic happened in 2025 and generated great controversy in the basketball world. The player, considered one of the NBA's stars, left the Mavericks to join the Lakers, a decision that surprised many analysts and fans of the sport.
Trump expressed his amazement to the Mavericks fans about the deal, expressing incomprehension at the Dallas club's decision. The president did not specify how a reversal of the trade could be carried out, limiting himself to publicly criticizing the Texas franchise's sports management.
