Obviously Luka Doncic is the big name the Los Angeles Lakers acquired from the Dallas Mavericks, but the team also brought a familiar face in the deal as Markieff Morris, a member of the 2020 Championship team, is back with the team.
Morris had been with the Mavericks for the past couple of seasons so he has seen up close and personal just how good Doncic is and what he brings to a team. And he also knows just how much this trade affected Doncic overall.
Morris spoke at the introductory press conference introducing the three newest Lakers and made it clear that it was tough for Doncic, who thought he would spend his entire career with the Mavericks, but also feels a couple of weeks with the Lakers will help change things
“I feel like there’s some sorts of disrespect for him,” Morris said.
