LeBron James and Luka Doncic could be a very deadly superstar tandem for the Lakers, and head coach JJ Redick knows it.

There were mixed feelings galore surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers after they finalized an expectation-defying trade with the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic. Jubilation filled fans, as they envisioned the kind of transcendent effect the 25-year-old superstar guard could have on the franchise in the long term.

It will take quite a while before the buzz surrounding Luka Doncic’s shocking move to join LeBron James and the Lakers die down. It’s fair that fans are still stunned by GM Nico Harrison’s shocking decision when even one of the greatest players in the game was blindsided by the trade.
