Marko Milic was an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks for a few years. Then, the Luka Doncic trade happened, with Nico Harrison sending the superstar to the Los Angeles Lakers on a whim. Milic left the team soon after and has since admitted that it was an emotional time for him in an interview with SIOL.net.

According to Dan Woike of The Athletic, Doncic, through his manager Lara Beth Seager, said three words to put a button on the trade. “He's moved on” Seager said to The Athletic. Also, Woike wrote about how difficult it was for Doncic following the Lakers' loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round of the playoffs.
