The unfortunate fact for any team playing the Los Angeles Lakers for the rest of the season is that even if Luka Dončić is shooting 30%, you still have a whole LeBron James, and others, to worry about.

One month after the Dallas Mavericks stunned the world by trading Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, former team governor Mark Cuban shared some thoughts about the move. Appearing on ABC affiliate WFAA in Dallas (starts at 6:30 mark),

The Lakers and Timberwolves collide as Luka Dončić eyes history and LeBron James leads L.A.'s defensive resurgence.

The Los Angeles Lakers hung on to defeat the New York Knicks in overtime 113-109 to extend their win streak to eight games as Jalen Brunson suffered an ankle injury late in the contest.

The Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to outlast the New York Knicks, 113-109, in overtime on Thursday in what was without question one of the best games of the season.

Luka Dončić has been “horrible” as a Los Angeles Laker. That’s the word he chose during a postgame interview late Thursday night, when the whistle-heavy win against Minnesota (111-102) came to a merciful end.

Although Luka Dončić speaks four languages, he struggled for the words to express just how strange it was to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.

The pair spent just two years as teammates but it's clear a strong bond that goes "deeper than basketball" remains.

In front of the man who shipped him out of Dallas earlier this month, the Los Angeles Lakers' heir apparent picked up his first triple-double as a member of the purple-and-gold last night -- and in the first meeting against his old club no less.

LeBron James, Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers will be playing against the Brooklyn Nets tonight. As the season enters its final stages, most of the teams across the league are struggling to establish a spot for themselves in the playoffs.
