On Monday, ESPN's Marc Spears reported that Doncic is eyeing a return on either Feb. 10 when the Lakers play the Jazz in Los Angeles or Feb. 12, when they travel to Utah.

The Dončić deal was stunning in every way — except maybe his destination. What else is in store before Thursday's trade deadline?
