Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic delivered a strong message to the rest of the NBA following the Dallas Mavericks' shocking decision to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Dallas Mavericks did the unthinkable over the weekend, trading franchise guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for superstar forward Anthony Davis. Both All-NBA talents have made it very clear they were not expecting to be traded, which is a rare occurrence in today's league.

I think he’s the player for the big scene, even though I thought in Dallas, he had something special going,” Jokic said.
