LA Lakers

LOS ANGELES -- Anthony Edwards was not at all surprised when the Minnesota Timberwolves showed enough talent and togetherness to turn Luka Doncic's playoff debut with the Los Angeles Lakers into a rout for the visitors.

DALLAS -- Tears welled in Luka Doncic's eyes and he buried his head in a towel Wednesday night, back in the building he called his NBA home for 6½ seasons before the trade that turned his world upside down.

Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards has been issued an automatic one-game suspension after picking up two technical fouls in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, giving him 16 this season.

It's been difficult to find anyone in the NBA, that covers the NBA, or that has ever watched the NBA that wasn't stunned the Luka Doncic trade to the LA Lakers.

In a blockbuster trade that figures to impact the Western Conference balance of power for years to come, the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz agreed to a three-team deal that will swap Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania late Saturday.

James' return to Los Angeles will give him the chance to play with his son, Bronny, whom the Lakers drafted in the second round last week.

But even funnier than Kobe only scoring four points was Will Ferrel (Dressed As A Usher) escorting one of the greatest Lakers of all-time in Shaq out of his court-side seat as he was "Asked to Leave''.
