Luka Doncic suited up for the Lakers for the first time, dropping 14 points in a dominant win over the Jazz. But does this new superstar pairing with LeBron James make the Lakers a legitimate title contender, or is the hype overshadowing the reality? We break down the chemistry between Luka and LeBron, the Lakers’ recent surge, and what it all means for the Western Conference playoff race.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets aren’t letting their failed trade with the Lakers slide. After Mark Williams reportedly failed his physical, the deal was rescinded, but now the Hornets are considering challenging the decision with the NBA. Should teams have more control over the medical review process, or are the Lakers playing games with trade negotiations?
And in Dallas, the Mavericks are dealing with more than just roster changes—angry fans are getting kicked out of the arena for protesting the Luka trade. With Jason Kidd skipping postgame pressers and team leadership cracking down on dissent, is this the start of a full-scale implosion in Dallas? We also discuss which Eastern Conference teams could surprise in the playoffs and whether the Clippers' move for Ben Simmons was a smart gamble.
