Every basketball fan and even NBA player was *SHOCKED* by the Dallas Mavericks' move of trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Phoenix Suns' star player Devin Booker also jumped into the conversation.
When asked by a fan about Luka Doncic's trade, Devin Booker trolled the fan by saying that he thought the Luka that was traded was the Minnesota Timberwolves' center, Luka Garza! (via X/@BleacherReport)
The hilarious reactions because of Book
Devin Booker fans quickly joked about Book's reaction, saying that even he himself was surprised like the rest of us! (via X/@PrizePicks)
Basketball fans commended Devin Booker, saying that Devin still has some time to light up the mood of everybody, especially after the most unforgivable NBA trade that ever happened yesterday. (via X/@Don_Clarity)
Others poked fun at Book's reaction, saying that Luka Garza would be surprised that he was part of the Mavs' trade, even if he is from the Timberwolves. (via X/@itsCSB__)
Some NBA fans also noticed that the reason Devin Booker said Luka Garza instead of Luka Doncic is because he was caught off-guard with the center's performance last NBA Playoffs (yes, the TWolves swept the Suns during last year's Playoffs)
"Bro got to watch Luka Garza put in work last playoffs in that sweep." - one fan said (via X/@tsntalkssports)
Others trolled Luka Doncic, saying that Luka Garza is the better Luka between the two!
"Let’s not disrespect the better Luka, Luka Doncic wishes he was on the same level as Garza." - one X user joked (via X/@Maddux_Albert)
Minnesota Timberwolves fans also reacted to Devin Booker's joke, saying that THEY WOULD NEVER EVER TRADE GARZA! (via X/@Br3ytwts)
Other fans trolled Devin Booker, saying that the Timberwolves will not let Luka Garza be traded because he is UNTOUCHABLE (like a gold! JK).
"Bro, Garza's UNTOUCHABLE." - another fan commented (via X/@TheAndyBankin)
Some Minnesota Timberwolves fans prefer Luka Garza over Anthony Davis because they love their very own Luka!
"We would never trade our Luka for AD!" - one Timberwolves fan said (via X/@clintchesterfi1)
And the Luka Doncic fans hilariously retaliated with Devin Booker's statement, saying they will just battle it out in the Playoffs (this is exciting)! (via X/@Lightskin4tTheWn)
The Other Luka: Luka Garza
Now that we're talking about the other Luka. Let's get into a "short" discussion about Luka Garza!
Standing at 6'8 and playing as the Minnesota Timberwolves' backup center, Luka Garza is a tough (and tall) cookie to beat! With his immense defense IQ and good shooting skills, Luka Garza is the TWolves' "secret weapon" when it comes to do-or-die games, and you know what, Luka Garza shines brightly, especially when it comes to high-stakes games!
