More than a few eyebrows were raised upon hearing 3-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade\u2019s stance on the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n

The Lakers and Dallas Mavericks broke the internet Saturday when news broke that Doncic and Anthony Davis were trading places. While most reacted to the trade from either an emotional or basketball perspective, Wade claimed he first saw it from a business perspective.<\/p>\n

The Miami Heat legend spoke candidly about the deal on his \u201cThe Why\u201d podcast. Wade harped on how much the league at-large benefits from the move. He also implied that the NBA\u2019s billionaire owners came together to make the \u201camazing business decision\u201d to send Luka to the Lakers, the league\u2019s most popular franchise by far.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I said to myself, before all the reports came out, I said, \u2018Oh, no players were involved in this decision,’\u201d said Wade, via ClutchPoints\u2019 Josue Pavon. \u201cThis was billionaire business. This was at the top. The last 12 to 15 years, the players have decided what we want to do. This was the owners, the governors, the billionaires deciding what they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026This was an amazing business decision by billionaires to say, \u2018This is what I want for now, and this is what we need as a league.\u2019 You get 10 years of Luka being the face of the Lakers. But you also get to put him with LeBron James \u2026 the guy who\u2019s been the face of the league, who can show him how to be the face of the league, and also who can show him how to take care of himself the way he needs to take care of himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to argue against Wade about the NBA arguably being the biggest winners of the Doncic deal. Aside from the NBA dominating mainstream sports conversations during the week of the Super Bowl, the league\u2019s most popular international player in Doncic is set to star for the Lakers for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

But Wade made it sound like he believed NBA team owners colluded to make it all happen, for the benefit of the league. Wade\u2019s take is all the more intriguing given that he is also a minority owner of the Utah Jazz and would also stand to benefit from the projected boost in global popularity.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
