LeBron James is ready to form a superstar association with Luka Doncic after the reports said that the 40 -year -old wants to keep the Los Angeles Lakers beyond the NBA trade deadline.
It emerged on Saturday night that the Lakers send to Anthony Davis, a first round of 2029 and Max Christie to the Mavericks, in exchange for Doncic, one of the NBA stars – Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris.
It is one of the most notable trades in the history of the NBA and, Sunday, ESPN reported that James intends to remain in Los Angeles beyond the exchange deadline on Thursday.
