During an appearance on The Young Man And The Three podcast, the ESPN NBA insider recounted how he found out about the trade. He had heard days before the trade deadline that the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers were working on a deal for a player who ultimately wound up not being part of the larger trade.

Everyone remembers where they were on the night the Mavericks traded their franchise superstar, Luka Doncic. As the man who broke the trade, Shams Charania had no idea what he was in for that night but it was a time he will never forget.
