The Los Angeles Lakers officially introduced Luka Doncic on Tuesday morning, ushering in a new era for the team that is meant to keep the franchise in contention for years to come.
Lakers vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka made the three-team trade happen behind the scenes with Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison in a historic transaction.
The Lakers now have Doncic to pair with LeBron James for the foreseeable future, as the 40-year-old superstar has given no indication that he wants to move on at this stage and is excited about the prospect of being teammates with a player he’s long raved about.
