NBA legend Dwyane Wade expresses his opinion on Doncic s transfer to the Los Angeles Lakers, James hopes Doncic stays for the Lakers for a long time

Luca Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers ended their hopeful season early after underperforming five games against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their first round. This is Doncic's first time wearing a Lakers jersey for the playoffs, after he was brought to Los Angeles from the Dallas Mavericks by a big deal, where he became the spokesperson for the team.

According to Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade, although the Lakers are still licking the wounds of failure this season, the 26-year-old Doncic is still the spokesperson for their next generation.

In his eponymous podcast "Suspended with Dwyne Wade," he expressed Doncic's importance to the Lakers despite a poor start to the season.

"At the end of the day, it's a bottom line. It's business. What am I talking about? I'm talking about the billionaire business.

"We're talking about the Los Angeles Lakers, so we sat here after the season and we looked at it and said, 'Well, jersey number one, who is it? ’Luka Doncic. The team is the number one jersey sales, who is it? The Los Angeles Lakers,” he added.

Doncic is the best-selling jersey of the season, while his Lakers teammate LeBron James ranked third, confirming Wade's statement.

"When we even talk about building a face, everyone is talking, 'Who is this face? Who is that face? "I know who the international face is. His name is Luca Doncic. Wade said: "It's not that he was not (the spokesperson) when he was in Dallas, but because he was wearing the Lakers uniform." ”

Doncic averaged 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists this season, helping the Lakers ranked third, but lost to the sixth-seeded Timberwolves in the first round.

In this deal, the Los Angeles Lakers gave up Anthony Davis and other players. Davis played an important role in winning the NBA championship in 2020.

LeBron James hopes that Luca Doncic can stay in the Los Angeles Lakers for a long time

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James hopes Luca Doncic continues to be the spokesperson for the team for the foreseeable future, and he expressed his hope to see the Slovenians stay in Los Angeles after losing to the Timberwolves.

"Obviously, I hope he can stay here for a long time. Lakers fans love him so much. Los Angeles has accepted him,” James said.

Doncic can continue the Los Angeles Lakers' superstar legend, with many of the greatest players in history, such as Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron.

James is the oldest active player of the season, and he has only one year left in his contract with the Lakers. He is in his 40s.
