Dwight Howard on Luka Doncic trade: ‘They want to make it look like the player is the worst person in the world’

February 22, 2025 by Hoops Hype

Dwight Howard on Luka Doncic trade: ‘It’s when they don’t want to give you a contract they got to find something to say… Just think about what they were saying about Luka when he left from the Dallas media. Now Luka is out of shape, he’s been having problems with the team internally. Why wasn’t none of this stuff talked about when he was there, as soon as he leave now all of this bad stuff? And that always happening and it’s not fair to the players because we can’t actually come back and write articles and say stuff like the media can so I just feel bad when when stuff like the Luka situation, and even with Jimmy Butler we don’t know the whole situation in totality and what was done behind closed doors. We just know what the player what happened to the player we know what the player was doing or saying and stuff like that and it’s like they want drama, they want to make it look like the player is the worst person in the world, and on top of that he’s getting paid millions of dollars. So now everybody like oh he’s a jerk. That’s not cool, they trying to cover up what they done did by saying the player is bad.

The Luka-less Lakers are in danger of losing to a third-straight team out of the playoff picture. They are up 78-77 on POR heading into the 4th Q. LeBron has 28 pts to lead all scorers, but has committed 9 of LAL’s 18 turnovers. – 11:53 PM

More on this storyline

Dwight Howard: I’m mad about that, man, because both of us—we were with Adidas, man. We put on for Adidas. When I lost the deal with Adidas after I left the Lakers—when I played with Kobe and them—they said, “We can’t keep you on Adidas because Lakers fans are mad at you.” Nah, I did not get a new contract, man. That’s crazy. I was with Adidas, I had three Defensive Player of the Year awards, and I never got a big contract. When I did the Superman dunk, they should have gone crazy. -via YouTube / February 20, 2025
Ben Golliver: 2025 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame finalists – Carmelo Anthony – Sylvia Fowles – Billy Donovan – Jerry Welsh – Tal Brody – Maya Moore – Dwight Howard – Sue Bird – Micky Arison – Mark Few – Jennifer Azzi – Buck Williams – Molly Bolin – Marques Johnson – Danny Crawford – Dusan Ivkovic – 2008 Olympic Redeem Team -via Twitter @BenGolliver / February 14, 2025
Dwight Howard: Kareem could be considered one of the greatest, but he wasn’t with Nike, so they don’t talk about him in the GOAT conversation. They only talk about players who wear Nike shoes.” -via YouTube / February 11, 2025

The Dallas Mavericks have censored Luka Doncic in a new video posted on their social channels this morning. The franchise has produced a highlight reel with music artist Six 3, and in some of the clips a player can be seen censored with the franchise logo. That player would be Luka Doncic, as reported by the Mavs Film Room on their X account. The video also features Maxi Kleber, another player traded from the Dallas Mavericks, but unlike the current Lakers player, he was not censored. Below is the video in question. -via Sportando / February 21, 2025
Cuban then offered Bussey two tickets to sit courtside for Dallas’ game against Golden State on Feb. 12. Bussey, who owns seven Doncic jerseys, accepted the invitation and took his son to the game. It was a small gesture but one that held meaning for Bussey: He said he felt Cuban “felt bad for the way I was treated” and about his leg. -via ESPN / February 21, 2025
