The Dallas Mavericks fanbase finds itself grieving as February starts with the news their star player, Luka Doncic, is set to be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and Patrick Mahomes‘ reaction sums up the mood.
Developments overnight report a three-team trade involving the Utah Jazz will also see Anthony Davis depart LA to head to Texas, as well as other concessions such as the Lakers’ 2029 first-round pick.
And the Kansas City Chiefs‘ quarterback, who is a fan of the Mavs, now deals with the heartbreak ahead of Super Bowl LIX and the 29-year-old isn’t taking it well based on his social media posts.
“Wait what?,” Mahomes wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’m sick rn….”
The break down of the trade sees the Lakers receive Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris, as per Shams Charania. Dallas will get Davis, Max Christie and the 2029 Los Angeles first-round pick.
The final team involved, the Jazz, will pick up Jalen Hood-Schifino, the 2025 Los Angeles Clippers’ second-round pick and the 2025 Dallas Mavericks’ second-round pick to close out the deal.
Fans respond to Mahomes reaction
The NFL ace, who is a three-time champion, was born in Tyler within the Lone Star State and was raised there. He eventually played for the Texas Tech Red Raiders and even met his wife in the state.
He regularly backs their sports teams, including the Mavericks; where he was spotted at the 2024 NBA Finals as they took on the Boston Celtics, but came up short losing 4 -1 over the five-game series.
However, NFL fans didn’t spare the QB any mercy and took some jokes at his expense on Elon Musk‘s social media platform.
