[Stein]: Dirk Nowitzki, I’m told, will attend tonight’s game in Los Angeles to be present at the Laker debut of his close friend and former teammate Luka Dončić.

A lot of hype around Laker’s debut. I have never seen so much anticipation for a players debut on a new team.

The aftermath of this trade has been immense as it is still dominating discussions in the nba over a week later and has largely overshadowed the other major trades made at this seasons trade deadline, such as Butler to the Warriors and Fox to the Spurs.

I’m excited to see Luka debut for the Lakers today.
