About this episode
The Los Angeles Lakers Trade for Luka Doncic BLOWS UP Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & Gil's Arena Crew react to the most shocking trade in sports history as the Dallas Mavericks decided to send franchise superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis and shake up the entire NBA. They give their first live reactions to the blockbuster trade and break down the short & long term impact of this move for the Lakers & Mavericks as well as the career outlooks for LeBron James, Luka and AD. They then break down what the Lakers did before they broke the internet with this trade news as LeBron delivered another classic performance in Madison Square Garden as the Lakers took down the New York Knicks and Bronny James became the undisputed king of New York after hearing MVP Chants and leaving with a 100% shooting percentage. Next, they react to another blockbuster trade from the weekend as DeAaron Fox was finally moved from the Sacramento Kings to join forces with Victor Wembanyama on the San Antonio Spurs and Zach Lavine was finally let go from the Chicago Bulls as they look to kick off a rebuild. The Gil's Arena Crew breaks down how an All NBA teammate in Fox will unlock Wemby's game and debate if this move will lift the Spurs into legitimate threats in the NBA Playoffs this year and beyond. Finally, Gil & the Gil's Arena Crew react to the announcement of the All Star Reserves for the 2025 NBA All Star Game and break down who was deserving of an all star nob and who was snubbed like Trae Young.
