Much has been made about the role Luka Donu010diu0107's conditioning allegedly played in the blockbuster trade that sent him to the Los Angeles Lakers before the NBA trade deadline.
So when video of Donu010diu0107 getting in some pregame push-ups in full view of the Dallas Mavericks went viral, some jumped to conclusions about the new Lakers star's intentions. In reality, the push-ups were a punishment for missing a half-court shot, per Arash Markazi.
That's how heightened the scrutiny has become over the trade, as Mavericks GM Nico Harrison has faced intense backlash from Dallas fans over the move.
