The Los Angeles Lakers were able to sign Luka Doncic to a three-year contract extension this offseason to secure his future in LA. He is now firmly settled in the city.

After the shocking trade that sent him from Dallas to the Lakers, Doncic has now spent an entire offseason with the team. He now had an opportunity to build some chemistry with his teammates.

Doncic has immersed himself in this team and wants to be closer to his teammates. He actually organized a very cool team-bonding activity after practice recently.

ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin shared on NBA Today that Doncic organized a Porsche driving experience activity with his teammates after practice on Tuesday.

As I shared on NBA Today, Luka Doncic organized a team bonding event after practice today at the Porsche Driving Experience, sources told ESPN. Each Lakers player will get their choice of three different cars to test out on the tracks.

It's a very cool opportunity for his teammates to share some time off the court while training camp is going on. This is a unique activity that some of his teammates wouldn't normally get a chance to do.

Things like this not only help build camaraderie off the court, but they also help build trust on the court. That's ultimately what this activity is trying to add.

The Lakers are trying to make sure that the chemistry is the highest it possibly can be before the regular season starts. Doncic still doesn't know some of his teammates very well.

It's good that one of the leaders of the team, who is relatively new in town, is organizing activities like this for the entire team. That has to make the Lakers' management happy.

Luka Doncic is Looking To Lead The Lakers To a Title This Year

Doncic re-signed with the Lakers because he believes that the organization is committed to doing whatever it takes to win a championship. He is hoping to lead the team to a title this year.

The Lakers are hoping that they can improve on their playoff performance from a year ago. Having Doncic build chemistry with his teammates might be able to help them do that.

After being traded to the Lakers last year, Doncic averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game. He shot 43.8 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.
