Celtics Legends Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce Believe Luka Doncic Can be 'New Ohtani' For Lakers

The Boston Celtics longtime rival, the Los Angeles Lakers, drastically altered the course of the NBA before the trade deadline expired, landing star guard Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks. Los Angeles had been wondering what the future of the team would look like once LeBron James retires but now they have a 25-year-old superstar in his prime to work with.

While the Celtics just defeated Doncic and the Mavericks in the NBA Finals last season, this is a move that should certainly put some fear into fans. Doncic is one of the best players in the NBA and now he is on the Lakers, likely for a very long time.

Former Celtics stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce weighed in on this move, calling Doncic the new 'Ohtani', referring to MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
