According to ESPN's Tim Bontemps, Luka Doncic appears to be taking on a bigger role in working with the Los Angeles Lakers' front office since his arrival with the organization back in February. "Luka is operating in conjunction with the Lakers front office in ways that he never did in Dallas," Bontemps said. "I think the shock of the trade has woken Luka up to the importance of being business-savvy."
This is the kind of moment most superstars eventually run into. Once you get traded, even after stacking All-NBA appearances and posting historic numbers, you begin to realize that talent alone will not keep you rooted in one city.
