The Los Angeles Lakers have been involved in some of the biggest trades in NBA history, but Saturday night’s deal might be the biggest of all time.
Yes, there’s recency bias, and there’s no way of knowing how the deal will pan out. But the Lakers acquiring Luka Donu010diu0107, a 25-year-old who is a five-time NBA All-Star and five-time All-NBA First Team selection — someone who just led the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals last season — is monumental. Players with Donu010diu0107’s credentials at his age rarely get traded, much less during the season.

But if legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley can be traded, it stands to reason there may be no true untradable player.
