With Doncic, Lakers fans have the chance for something different, something more similar to what they had with Bryant or Johnson, both of whom spent their entire careers with the Lakers, winning five championships apiece in Los Angeles.

Former NBA player Jalen Rose recently expressed skepticism about the Los Angeles Lakers’ chances of winning another championship with LeBron James on the roster.

Those rumors have been put to bed following the blockbuster trade to welcome Luka Doncic to the city of angels. A new rumor has taken its place, which is that James may demand a trade as the Lakers are seemingly gearing up to make Doncic the next face of the franchise.
