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."

Lakers updates, via @mcten:
- Luka Doncic desires "an A-list center"
- Doncic has not pitched LeBron or Austin Reaves on returning to LA
- LeBron will likely return to Lakers if he plays a 24th season; Warriors are a "realistic second option"
- Nets remain expected to have interest in Reaves
- Lakers have done "due diligence" on RFAs Jalen Duren, Walker Kessler, Peyton Watson, and Tari Eason
- LA interested in retaining Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard; Rui Hachimura could be odd man out
NEW: Lane Kiffin says he will take LSU back to the top of college football in his tenure👀
"I don’t know how fast it’s going to happen, but we’re going to win a national championship. We’re going to have the teams and the rosters back to the way they were playing when they were great. I don’t know how fast. It might not be today, but it’s going to happen."

lol nobody can gaslight me bc I was there I know what I watched. 4th qtr we went away from the triangle and just put the ball in his hands to win games. Shaq became a screener the last 5 mins of the game. Best closer of all time!
Kobe won back to back championships with the worst roster to ever win!
LeBron nor Jordan would win with this team, only Kobe
No one talks about this, how Kobe carried bunch of nobody’s to 3 finals!
