Lakers' Luka Doncic Has Surprising Take on Relationship With LeBron James

The Los Angeles Lakers made a move of the decade, arguably of the century, when they traded for international superstar Luka Doncic. 

The trade shocked not only the entire sports world but the world in general. It’s a move that some are still processing, but it has become a reality for Doncic and the Lakers. The 26-year-old was shell-shocked when he was first traded to Los Angeles, and he was not shy about letting others know that. 

However, as the months have passed, Doncic has found a home in Los Angeles, and all signs point to him staying in L.A. for the long run. The Lakers will revolve their roster around Doncic this summer, as it is set to be a massive summer for L.A. Not only will building their roster around Doncic be huge, but so is the contract situation with LeBron James. 

The duo of Doncic and James played well, and while they didn’t reach their ultimate goal, they looked good together. 

For the first time since being eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Doncic made his first public speaking appearance on James’ and Steve Nash’s Mind the Game podcast. The five-time All-NBA member spoke on a variety of topics, including his growing relationship with James. 

Doncic was candid, saying the two still have some work to do. 

“I still think it's a work in progress. When we two are out there and AR [Austin Reaves], you know he's been playing unbelievable, and I think it's just still a work in progress. I think we're getting better and better every day,” said Doncic.
