Because a lot of Lakers fans are saying that Luka is in his prime, especially now that he is with the Lakers, other fans are saying that Luka Doncic is in his "pre-prime" period, meaning, performing like he is in his prime, but still below average based on his evaluation!

"He said he still not in good shape wait for his prime self!" - another Los Angeles Lakers fan remarked (via X/@Csan34961)
"The fact that this is technically a “below average” game for Luka is insane, get me to the playoffs right now." - amother Los Angeles Lakers fan shared (via X/@mxrtice_)

And finally, fans are saying that because of the Luka Doncic trade, Nico Harrison made the Los Angeles Lakers the face of the league, something that other teams and other players are aspiring to be!

"Further proves Lakers are the face of this league." - a fan pointed out (via X/@champ_lemur)

Luka Doncic's stats with the Lakers

After the Luka Doncic trade, Luka flourished with the Lakers. He averaged 26.5 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 7.5 APG, and a field goal percentage of 44.7%, making him one of the deadliest guards in the league.

But, just like what Luka said, he is still not in his best shape yet as he is still warming up with the Lakers so once he unleashes his full potential as a Laker, he will dish out outstanding points and percentages per game!


Even if Nico Harrison is considered the "villain" of the Dallas Mavericks fans, sometimes, a villain does something unexpected, which in turn makes him a hero. In Nico Harrison's decision to trade Doncic to the Lakers, he became the Lakers fans' favorite decision-maker because they got Luka Doncic!
