The Los Angeles Lakers’ dedication to their new star is evident in the heated message that was leaked from their private Luka Doncic group conversation. The Lakers are well-positioned to assemble a competitive squad around Doncic for the next ten years, following his outstanding performance at EuroBasket, where he averaged 34.7 points per game. Lakers Management’s SupportThis unique conversation features important Lakers staff members, such as Doncic’s business manager, Lara Beth Seager, Director of Player Performance Dr Leroy Sims, and General Manager Rob Pelinka. As Doncic guides the team into the 2017 NBA season, the group has been crucial in helping him. Pelinka expressed confidence in Doncic’s abilities, stating, “Luka’s play in EuroBasket made it clear to the entire basketball world that he’s on that incredibly short list of ‘best player on the planet’ candidates.” During the tournament, Doncic’s leadership shone through. In a moment of intensity, he was heard urging his teammates, “We’re up by seven, calm the f*** down, everyone. You’re all nervous, it’s seven points. Focus, we don’t need to f***ing fight each other. We’re against them, not against ourselves, come on!” This message reflects his desire for unity and focus within the team. Long-Term Vision For SuccessPelinka has outlined a strategic plan to assemble a strong roster, aiming for flexibility to attract elite players by the summer of 2025. He emphasised the importance of supporting players’ passions and creating a cohesive environment. Pelinka noted, “The Lakers want to be mindful of players’ passions and who they are as men and then lean in and support those things.” Following in the footsteps of previous superstars who have worn the purple and gold, the Lakers are committed to using Luka Doncic’s skill and drive to win a championship as they set out on this new journey.
