The details of the crucial meeting between the Lakers and Luka Doncic

In early May, the Los Angeles Lakers season ended disappointingly. The Los Angeles franchise, having acquired Luka Doncic, was unable to eliminate the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.

In fact, the Lakers were soundly defeated by the T-Wolves with a 4-1 result, despite being the favorites in that series. It has now been revealed by ESPN, in the midst of July, in the NBA Rumors, that 4 days after that elimination, a crucial meeting took place between Doncic, JJ Redick, and Rob Pelinka.

Star, coach, and operations president convened to outline their strategy to build the Lakers around Doncic and his skills, as well as to navigate the complexities of the new NBA collective bargaining agreement.

The Lakers are open to any contract extension structure Doncic prefers this offseason, which can be up to 4 years and $229 million. This is the team's priority, with the meeting also revealing that the goal is to trade LeBron James, or wait for his contract to end next year and let him move to another team to retire.
