The Los Angeles Lakers have been the talk of the league the past week after they somehow pulled off the most shocking trade in NBA history, acquiring Luka Doncic out of nowhere.
Los Angeles has been mulling smaller margins around the edges to give the team their shot to compete for a title, but by trading for Doncic they’ve given themselves a chance to contend this year and for years to come. While the Lakers had to give up Anthony Davis, Max Christie and an unprotected 2029 first-round pick, Doncic is more than worth it given what he can do on the basketball court.
