Doncic intends to sign a three-year, $165 million contract extension in person with the Lakers on Saturday, the first day the franchise was eligible to offer him one, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. The third year will be a player option, sources said.

Lakers are a great personality fit for Luka. He can show out on the court and live quietly.

They have limited assets, cap space in the 2020s means nothing, and they have poor Front Office and cheap ownership. Safe to say he's no different than other players in his generations of choosing money, instead of winning. Typical Gen Z NBA player.

Pretty sure the Lakers have won more championships than majority of the NBA franchises the last two decades...

And this is supposed to matter in 2025? The Lakers nowadays are poorly run with a Front Office that's often about as delusional as their fanbase and have not shown that they are capable of building a contending roster. How things look over the next couple of years, nothing will actually change. The Lakers roster will very likely be filled with players that nobody wants and limited assets to improve. It's just not a winning situation at the end of the day.
