I don't know. I agree with Dan in that LA will likely figure this out. But the real question is how will Doncic play and will he be comfortable if the fan base turns on him a bit. He's had it easy his whole career. LA may not be his thing. I can easily imagine that he would like to play in Denver with Jokic and if he chose to leave, but that kind of crystal ball placement is hard to come by. I think he has to live up to expectations in LA, and that may be becoming a problem.
This trade is still dynamic. We really may not understand this trade for several months.
It's also conceivable that we'll never know.
