Mannix The Lakers believe they can succeed with a backcourt of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves if they can get the right type of players in the front court They are looking to build a Dallas 20 type roster similar to what Luka had when he went to the NBA Finals

Dirk on Luka amp the Lakers Luka has been playing incredible basketball averaging almost 40 He has his step back working and when the step back works he's basically unarguable Is that a team you really want to see in the playoffs with 3 guys that can take over down the stretch I've been impressed

Royer Rick Carlisle on Luka Doncic He's the greatest player I've ever coached He'll be an MVP I coached Dirk Nowitzki we won a championship together But Luke is just he's the extra special of the most extra special just in terms of everything he can do on the basketball floor
