Luka Doncic is a Slovenian professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. Doncic has been passionate about basketball since he was about eight years old. Since his rookie season, he has been selected to five NBA All-Star games and five NBA First-team selections. Luka was born on February 28, 1999. He’s 6’6 and 230 pounds. He plays the position of a forward guard. Luka averages about 28.6 points per game.
Before being taken with the third pick in the draft, Luka led Spain’s Real Madrid to the 2018 Euroleague title while becoming the youngest player ever to earn a Euroleague and Euroleague final four MVP. He also competed on the Slovenian national team and helped the squad to a gold medal finish at Eurobasket 2017. A trade to the Lakers would be a monumental move in the NBA as Doncic’s elite scoring, playing, plans, and overall ability would definitely make a good difference to the superstar line up this team has. Such a trade would create one of the best dynamic duos in basketball history.
However, it would be such a massive undertake to the lakers who would need to part with key assets such as young talent, draft picks, or even Davis or supporting other players to match Doncic’s value. On the Mavericks side trading a player like Doncic with so much value would be such a tough decision. The Franchise of this team have built there value off of Doncic’s skills and assets towards the team.
Overall, Luka Doncic being traded to the Lakers is very good news to the Lakers considering his skills and assets he brings to the team. With this incredible line up this should be an amazing season for the lakers.
