The former La Lakers star believes Luka Donsic is far more suited to the franchise than the Dallas Mavericks.
Many believe that Luka Doncic’s participation in Los Angeles Lakers is the most surprising trade in NBA history.
The Lakers landed Don Sic from the Mavericks in February, in a move that no one came as the Dallas Mavericks had given up on generational talent due to the massive star of decline.
Luka put aside his Mavericks’ heartbreak at the start of the journey and surrendered herself to his new team. Doncic re-signed with the Lakers for $165 million, securing its future for the next three years.
But one former La Lakers star believes Donsic is on the right team in the end.
Former La Lakers star Sasha Villacic spoke recently in an interview. He claimed that Luka Donsic’s star power was wasted with the Dallas Mavericks.
With the Lakers, Donsic is a killer and can succeed Kobe Bryant in terms of bringing the team to success.
“I think Luka’s lights and abilities were too big for the Dallas spotlight, rather than dissing Dallas. I think Luka is the perfect guy we need in LA to carry us to the next championship.
“I said a long time ago when I saw him play, like he’s playing with a smile, you’ll get a glimpse from Kobe like his eyes, but he wants to kill you.
“There was a proverb in our locker room. When you smell blood, you go to him, right?
“And I think Luka is one of the very few individuals in the league who have that attitude and the mindset of trying to get to the next level, and I think it will be a fun year.
This season proves to be important to him as Luka Doncic embraces his role as the centerpiece for the La Lakers.
If the report is to be believed, this will be LeBron James’ final season with the La Lakers as the sense of 40 is in Twilight of his career.
Donsic does everything with his power to learn from LeBron James, not necessarily from a talent perspective, but from a leadership perspective.
When LeBron James leaves, he hands over the keys to the Lakers franchise to Donsic.
