Luka Doncic, presented with the Los Angeles Lakers: "I thought it was April Fools' Day"

Luca Doncic has been introduced as the new player for Los Angeles Lakers in an event where he was accompanied by Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick: "It was a big shock. It was tough moments for me. I had to double-check if it was April Fools' Day. But now I can play in the best club in the world, and I am excited for this new journey."

Obviously, he is thrilled, despite being kicked out by Dallas, to land in what he himself describes as "the best team in the world": "Honestly, at first, it was hard. That first day was really tough. I felt like these last 48 hours were like a month. Emotionally, it was very difficult, but today was much better. I am very happy to be here for this opportunity. This is the Lakers. It is one of the best clubs in history, so I am excited to be here."

GM Rob Pelinka, on his part, is delighted to have added Luka to the team: "We have one of the biggest superstars in the game and an international player coming to join the Lakers. I think it's going to be something incredibly special that the NBA and basketball have never seen before."
