Luka is asked to stay quiet until he names a better shooter

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

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

The Lakers have been linked to Thunder guard Lu Dort as a potential trade target to pair with Luka Doncic

Rick CarlisleOn Luka Doncic God this guys like a Magic Johnson-type player Hes the most unique player Ive ever worked with Hes just so good Hes a killer competitor You put the right guys around him and I defy you to figure out a way to beat him He is smart as hell and knows how to win

Buha I spoke with several Lakers people there was an acknowledgement we might have taken a step back If you're myopic need to win a Championship this season that's obviously not the case But we can win 50 next Summer see what trades we need to make Then in 2028 can be a true contender
