    Yes Luka is great friends with DFS. Luka also recognizes that all the moves now have to maximize the time line and arc of HIS career as a Laker going forward. So he understands the Lakers offer to DFS for the (similar?) dollars per for 2 years at his stage of his career and coming off ankle surgery .... was fair, even though Dorian wanted the long term deal. Luka is also great friends, including families, with Deandre Ayton. These two guys have not yet ever had the chance to play together and have wanted to play together, and now that's going to happen. There should be chemistry off the charts between them JUST like he had with DFS. Luka will be totally fine and harbor no ill will regarding Dorian not being able to stay.

    I think Ayton going to be awesome. He's definitely going to have those Rui type of WTF are you doing if I had that size and strength I wouldn't be f***ing around you lazy POS games.

    But he's going to have a lot more oh this guy was a key piece on a finals team and is only 26 years old. How the hell did the Lakers pair this guy with Luka for nothing

    Why would we do that to him?

    Ugh

    Getting started on the wrong foot

    Or maybe he can be special and make his name synonymous with that number

    Which one will it be?

    Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen

    Farmar and Robert Horry is enough for Lakers legacy and actually who cares about numbers,now most popular one is 0 which I don't think that anybody wore it in 90 or 2000 except for Westbrook and Tatum is champion already , Haliburton is 0 and one of the best in the league

    A 19 year old on steroids already? Idk.. taking a pee enhancer, that was probably some kind of mistake. Now ..John Collins getting busted for taking a growth hormone, in that same season, that sounds more intentional to me. I'm sure that both, have been drug tested frequently ever since.
