Luka Doncic's brand-new contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers officially places LeBron James as the definitive number two in Hollywood. Would James want a different ending to his legendary career?
News broke on Saturday that Doncic has officially re-upped with the Lakers for the long haul. The Slovenian superstar signed a three-year, $165 million deal to continue his time in Los Angeles beyond the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season.
What is important to consider here is that Aug. 2 was the earliest date at which Doncic could have agreed to an extension with the Lakers.
