    This does not look like someone who isn't signing an extension with the Lakers.

    Yeah the 3 ball is their main issue. They are beatable for sure, would be a fun series. Hope it's the WCF, means we are there

    LMAO …. long time members will know what I’m talking about, Astros. But Vash’s for the rest of his life hate campaign against Pelinka is so unrelenting that in the days following this incredible trade Rob pulled off with how very LITTLE went out the door to Dallas in players and picks …. that he was fear mongering to “watch out when it comes time to re-up Luka’s contract because of how his agent was kept out of the loop, and HE wasn’t going to forget THAT and would hold a grudge and (tremendous sway I guess :rofl: :clap:) in talking Luka out of staying with the Lakers. Swear to G that guy lost his ever-loving mind in the Magic vs Pelinka brouhaha. Five freaking years later it’s that same crap about Pelinka over and over and over.

    i'll be absolutely shocked if luka doesn't re-sign here, and it's a sort of crazy assertion (which, as LT indicated, smacks of a certain kind of alarmism and zealotry).

    i'll be tuning in tonight if possible (i.e., kids allowing), but i'm not sure if i'm expecting the fireworks everyone else is. i DO think that if we're heading towards another hornets game, luka might pull a hammy trying to prevent it. but i expect a workman-like effort from everyone and a comfortable win over a severely depleted dallas team.

    Fully 1/3 of the replies about Rob “over there” still give him zero credit for ANTHING this trade deadline and leading up to it …. no doubt in my mind from that unrelenting now over 5 years bashing him.

    If they think we believe that’s Luka replacing his plates, people can only suspend disbelief when it’s close, that body double looks a Buck fifty

    Lakers tax came early... 10-40 from three from Luka since joining the Lakers.

    Thought he would go for a 40 point triple double but seems like they still need more time to gel.

    Next 3 games, Lakers are going to need him to be ready.

    Fat Luka game lol.

    Sure Luka plays slow but hes clearly struggling with some lift and burst issues. Since he was way better against Denver seems more like a conditioning thing. He does need to lose weight still

    He couldn’t shoot tonight, 6/17, 1/7 on threes, but he is so much more that that as a player. Still had 19 points, 15 boards, 12 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Guys around him are as open as they’ve ever been, and that includes LeBron, Luka draws 2 and 3 defenders to him regularly and someone is always open.

    Amazed how much Doncic can impact a game when he doesn’t shoot the ball well. Very much like LeBron in that aspect.

    My God - I think I just didn't know how good Luka was before he got here...

    The fact that LeBron and Reaves are SO WIDE OPEN on certain plays is truly unbelievable.

    That play where Luka got doubled late in the 4th and one pass away is LeBron and he kicks it back out to him for a wide open 3..>WIDE OPEN!!!

    I mean that is just ridiculous man....and he threw several passes in the key to LeBron for an easy layup.

    This guy is so much more than what I could have imagined...now I see why Mavs fans will never ever forgive Nico man.

    We literally got a legend
