When Luka Doncic sat down with Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick over dinner back in the month of May, he did not beat around the bush.
According to ESPN, Doncic stated, “I don’t want to wait... Let’s do whatever we can now.”

Doncic is already the Lakers’ undisputed leader on and off the court
If that quote sounds familiar, it should.
