OPINION | The NBA has led to the transfer of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers

The NBA has witnessed the most surreal trade in its history. Yes, that's what I think, and I believe the rest of basketball fans feel the same way. Luka Doncic has been traded to Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, a very concerning decision by Dallas Mavericks.

If the trade itself already makes no sense, the explanations given by the Mavs make even less sense. Saying that Doncic is out of shape, gets injured a lot, doesn't defend... Believing that adding Davis will improve the team, as good as he is (and he is), is being completely detached from reality.

Between that, and the fact that neither Doncic, nor Davis, nor even LeBron James, who is involved in all decisions at the Lakers, know anything about it, makes one think that someone higher up had to intervene in this whole operation. And that thought is very worrisome and dangerous.

It's also worth mentioning that if you announce you want to trade Luka Doncic, the other 29 teams would be calling within seconds to get him. And you'd get a much better deal than what the Mavs got from this trade. Much better.

I feel like the only logical explanation for this truly crazy situation is that the NBA must have been the mastermind behind this exchange. All to revive viewership in the United States.

Thinking about it that way would make more sense: you send Luka Doncic to the Lakers, team with the most fans and the biggest market in the NBA, reviving it and taking it back to the top of the Western Conference.

Furthermore, the chances of seeing an NBA Finals rematch between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics would greatly increase, probably the matchup that would generate the most viewership.

But of course, if the NBA did have a hand in all of this, it's very scary. Scary because you feel like the competition is tainted. The league's credibility and nature would be tarnished forever. But what's most frightening is that it would be the only logical explanation for a trade that, no matter how much you think about it, will never make sense.
