Windhorst amp MacMahon It turns out that Luka Doncic called Marcus a couple of times I think the key here is that Luka is acting in concert with the Lakers FO He's being a pitch man for the organization and it shows that he's not only on the same page with them but is also an active participant

Windhorst Some of the owners who are trying to get LeBron were talking to each other and were like have you heard anything Nope Have you heard anything Nope LeBron is reaching out and talking to players on some of these teams and they report back to their GM or coach Hey LeBron called

Windhorst LeBron's intention is to play and the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers They are negotiating I think he's going to try and make a deal with the Lakers The league generally believes the two sides are going to come together

Buha I spoke with several Lakers people this weekend more often than not there was an acknowledgment that we might have taken a slight step back this season but this is about the longer-term vision here with building this core from the ground up around Luka and Austin

Vlade Divac on why he didn't draft Luka I already had Fox who I had a good relationship with so I would have to trade him The small market was a perfect fit for Fox Luka is a big market player if I get him I may lose him down the road

Walker Kessler on playing with Luka Doncic Hes such a big presence on the court It makes the game a lot easier for all the other guys to do what they need to do Ive never played with a point guard of that kind of size and stature Hes just a matchup nightmare So itll be a lot of fun

McMenamin Austin Reaves on Luka Doncic Hes one of my best friends on this planet I talk to him almost every single day He sends me videos of his golf swing and asks me what he can do to get better and I tell him Im not a coach
