Magic Johnson seemed excited by the news that Luka Doncic was heading for her beloved Lakers, but the legend of the NBA perhaps wanted to choose her words a little better.
Johnson seemed to be an accidental blow to Doncic in a position where he sprang on the positive impact that the 25 -year -old Slovenian will have with the Lakers on Sunday evening.

The part of this post that seemed a little strange came at the end when he began to discuss “the positive influence” that LeBron James would have on Donic.
“LeBron James will have a positive influence on Luka, teaching him his championship mentality which includes taking his conditioning seriously,” Johnson wrote in the social media post on X.
The moment of the commentary comes after being reported that the Mavericks had “main concerns” concerning the ability of Doncic to achieve its potential because of the problems they have seen with their conditioning and lifestyle, according to ESPN.
Even with Johnson’s unique comment, the Lakers praised this decision in a series of messages on X.
“I have been associated with the NBA for 45 years and this Luka and AD trade is the biggest trade I have seen between two superstars essentially to their peak! With Luka, the Lakers get a 25 -year -old superstar; This is a big long-term decision for the Lakers franchise after LeBron’s retirement, “he wrote in an article.
“Luka Doncic will certainly make Lakers a league team. It will remove the pressure from LeBron because of its score capacity and its creation of games and will improve each laker! Johnson wrote in the same article which included the commentary on the packaging of Doncic.
The Lakers sent the superstar Big Man Anthony Davis to Dallas as part of the three -team trade.

In another article, he compared the addition of Donic to the movement that the dodgers made to add the feeling of Japanese baseball Shohei Ohtani. Los Angeles won the World Series in the first season of Ohant with the team.
Doncouic has an average of 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 42 games this season.
