Luka Doncic is tipping the Lakers hand in who will control the team

You do not have to read too deep between the lines to see what Luka Doncic is doing. Every time he talks about the Los Angeles Lakers’ future, he keeps bringing up one name: Mark Walter. It's not Jeanie Buss, not Rob Pelinka. Walter.

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, that is no accident: “Everything you hear coming from Luka Donu010diu0107… when he talks about the future of the Lakers, Mark Walter’s name is always mentioned in there very strategically.”
