In one of the most unexpected ways possible, news broke on Thursday that Luka Dončić will sign an extension with the Lakers in early August.

The second-year player appeared more confident this summer, but he still needs to make strides with his 3-point shooting and defense.

Ten days before Luka Dončić becomes eligible to sign a new contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, there is some optimism he will put pen to paper at some point this offseason.

As the Lakers approach their 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years.

Unlike the Lakers, the Cavs aren’t dealing with cryptic messages or the anxiety of losing control this offseason. Instead, there's alignment.

The Los Angeles Lakers made another roster move on Wednesday. The organization officially re-signed a 7-foot-1 center to assist their newly-added center, Deandre Ayton, in the low-post next season.
