Lakers Trade Proposal Reunites Luka Doncic With Former Mavericks Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers struck gold when they acquired Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline. However, the next step for them is to get a good big man to complement him and LeBron James.

The Los Angeles Lakers get to build their team around two of the greatest offensive masterminds in league history with Luka Doncic and LeBron James at the helm. At age 26, Doncic is the future of the franchise, while James has made it clear that, at 40, it’s on him to adjust his game to his new co-star.

Ideally, Los Angeles will be able to add a center similar to Mark Williams, whom they acquired at the trade deadline last year before having to back out of the deal due to an issue with his physical. After that, the Lakers should look to bring in a lockdown perimeter defender.
