Lakers great Magic Johnson was fired up after hearing the news on Sunday and he shared his feelings about the move in a number of tweets. In one, he compared the trade to when the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani in free agency.

The Lakers icon admitted that it could be a potential "problem" for the franchise. "Usage rate may be a problem for the Lakers because LeBron, Luka, and Austin all love to have the ball in their hands," Johnson wrote on X.

The Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade has generated strong reactions across the NBA community. Basketball legends have weighed in on the deal, which sends Doncic to the Lakers and Davis to the Mavericks.
