The Toronto Raptors don't have much of a reason to pay close attention to Luka Doncic. He plays for the Los Angeles Lakers across the continent, is in the Western Conference, and just signed a new contract extension to stay in Hollywood for years to come.

He is moving on from the nasty and shocking divorce with the Dallas Mavericks and embracing his role on the league's glitziest franchise.
The most recent stop on that media tour was with the Wall Street Journal's Jason Gay.
