Los Angeles Lakers governor Jeanie Buss emphasized the importance of keeping the trade discussions for Luka Doncic confidential to ensure team stability. She expressed pride that the trade, which was finalized after weeks of negotiations, did not leak and disrupt the team's progress. Buss highlighted the balance of trade excitement and the business's inherent stress. Following the successful trade, she promoted her new Netflix series inspired by her life, emphasizing that the trade was not made to enhance the show's publicity.
It was really important to me that we didn't blow up the team. If it had leaked out and the trade hadn't happened, that would be really unfair to the progress that the coaching staff had made.
The trade deadline is part of the business, it increases the level of stress for everybody. I'm really proud that it didn't leak out and that we were able to execute the trade.
Now that Doncic is a Laker, Buss is more than happy to shout about his acquisition from the rooftops.
Everyone thinks, 'Was this trade done to promote the new Netflix series?' That's not the case at all.
