Four days after the trade that shook the NBA, Luka Dončić joining the Los Angeles Lakers became more of a reality for everyone that may have still lingering disbelief over such a transaction taking place.

"I was almost asleep, so when I got a call, I had to check if it was April first," Dončić said about learning he was traded to the Lakers.

The Lakers formally welcomed Dončić on Tuesday, less than three days after they traded Anthony Davis and Max Christie in a three-team deal for the Slovenian scorer who won his first scoring title last season before leading the Mavs to the NBA Finals. Dončić is a five-time All-NBA selection and a five-time All-Star.
