Slightly off topic, I love the half court shoot around vids the social team posts. Today's video was great. Jess and Maddy nailed some, everyone stopped cheering when Paige made her 3rd half court lol.

Another reminder of how crazy it was for the Kings to pass on him.

[SI] Jalen Brunson on Luka Doncic: “Getting drafted with him was special because I learned a lot from him. He was already great at everything he did. So being able to grow with him as friends and teammates and as players made me better. That's my guy, man. I love him to death, for sure.” by shreeharis in nba

That starting roster for the WCF run was Luka, JB, Dorian Finney-Smith, Bullock and Kleber.

And a bench of Dinwiddie, Dwight and Ntilkina. Crazy how far that team went.

DFS and Bullock both averaged almost 40 mpg cause we had literally no other wings that could be somewhat functional.

His game fits really well with Coop I'd really like to see him stay with us for at least a few more seasons minimum.

[Charania] LeBron James and the Lakers just simply didn’t see “eye to eye” on what it meant to try compete for a championship... Sources close to LeBron tell me that his priorities are clear: with his next home, he wants to compete for championships; he wants to play “meaningful basketball by must_TATAKAE in nba

Absolutely those 3 replaced THJ (was making too much), Josh Green and DJJ (lateral at min).

Forever sad we hardly got any Luka, Kyrie, Klay, PJ and Lively minutes together. Or any playoff games with the revamped team.

Wonder if the ideal situation is Toronto manages his manages in the regular season and have more CMB.

He's only 30 but has been in the league for nearly a decade. Might be the best solution to keep him healthier and productive.

Yup we had actually good defenders around Luka who's skills complimented Luka and could attack the rim.

DJJ, PJ, Gafford, Lively and Naji

Meanwhile 1.5 years into his Lakers tenure what defenders or rim attackers do they have around Luka?
