I think the Luka and Mavs fans that are slowly moving over to Laker Nation are just realizing how loved Anthony Davis was by the fans
I appreciate Luka but I will miss AD
This moment will always be my favorite
I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA.
Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember.
I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us.
2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career. Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come. Love you guys..
But coming for it all.
Danny Ainge reportedly had no idea he was helping the Lakers land Luka Dončić, and by the time he found out, it was too late for him to do anything about it, per @espn_macmahon
“Even the Utah Jazz, the third team that facilitated the transaction by collecting two second-round picks for absorbing Jalen Hood-Schifino, didn't know Doncic and Davis were a part of the deal until about an hour before it was completed, league sources said. Even Jazz President, Danny Ainge, who hails from the Lakers' hated rival, the Boston Celtics, had only about 30 minutes notice, sources said, that Los Angeles was about to acquire Doncic to be the new face of its franchise. But by then it was too late to do much about it. NBA history was about to be altered.”

Grateful for this amazing opportunity. Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I’ll do so with the same joy, passion and goal - to win championships.
.@jovanbuha of @TheAthletic talked to the @Lakers players & coaches about the possibility of @KingJames retiring:
"No one publicly said they believed LeBron was going to retire."
He says they were all "caught off guard" by his comments suggesting he might leave the @NBA
