Trump jokes about trying to "redo" huge Luka Dončić trade in Dallas speech
President Trump's speech at the Republican National Committee convention touched on the polarizing NBA trade that sent superstar guard Luka Dončić from the Mavericks to the Lakers.
During a rally-style speech at the Republican National Committee midterm convention, President Trump deviated from his usual topics of oil, Iran, immigration, the economy and sports, to discuss the controversial NBA trade that sent Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers last year. In the American Airlines Center, Trump remarked that he didn't grasp the reasoning behind the trade, labeling it as either the worst or simply not a great transaction in sports history.
He then jokingly suggested that it might be possible to "redo" the trade, stating that he had experience in making deals. However, Trump quickly returned to discussing U.S. oil production and Iran, failing to elaborate further on the topic of the NBA trade.
