Luka Dončić wants the Lakers to acquire an A-list center and build a championship-caliber team around him as soon as possible, per @mcten
The Lakers have been telling Luka since acquiring him that they planned to go all-in during the summer of 2026 — and that time has arrived 👀
"Luka wants to be a championship team yesterday," a source close to Doncic said. "Ever since the trade, they've always told us: 'summer of '26. We'll show you in the summer of '26.' So, we are so excited that the summer of '26 is here."

Luka Dončić says he wants shooters and a big man he can run pick-and-rolls with 👀
“I think mainly shooters and a big man who can run the pick-and-roll and jump so I can pass to him. If I have shooters, they won’t double me as much, and it helps me out. I think I always need shooters around me because I usually get double-teamed a lot, so I think I need shooters—and some centers who can jump high and block shots.”

Sometimes it’s refusing to stay down

Isiah Thomas on former NBA players holding LeBron out of the top 5 players of all time:
“Guys are jealous, they get envious…. They intentionally ignore the obvious. When you intentionally ignore the obvious it has to come back to jealousy, envy, or straight up BS. This man got every basketball record on the books, if he ain’t in your top 5, you’re full of sh*t”
